November is Native American History Month: Join us for special program by Peter Cutul, Assistant Site Supervisor/Educator at Fort Montgomery State Historic Site. His presentation will focus on Chief Daniel Nimham (the last Sachem of the Wappinger Indians) and his fight to retain the tribe’s Hudson Highlands homeland. Both Daniel and his son Abraham would give their lives fighting on the side of the Patriots during the American Revolution. We will meet on Tuesday, Nov. 28, at 7 p.m. at the Beacon Elks Lodge at 900 Wolcott Avenue. We will conduct a brief Annual Meeting before the presentation.
