Join author Mary Mistler for a talk and signing for her book Ladies of the Valley: Women of the Great Estates of the Hudson Valley.

This book tells the story of the women who lived on and ran the estates that line the eastern shore of the Hudson--- many of whom were Livingstons. Women such as Alida Schuyler Livingston of the Manor, Margaret Beekman Livingston of Clermont, Janet Livingston Montgomery of Montgomery Place, Margaret Armstrong Astor of Rokeby, Ruth Livingston Mills of Staatsburgh, Mary Livingston Ludlow Hall and Eleanor Roosevelt of Oak Terrace, and Daisy Suckley of Wilderstein connected deeply to their family lands and had a lasting impact on the history, society, and even the geography of the Hudson Valley.
