In conjunction with our current exhibit, The Patriots of Hudson in the Revolutionary War, the Hudson Area Library History Room staff are offering a Teacher Workshop cosponsored by the Greater Capital Region Teacher Center – with 3 credits of Continuing Teacher & Leader Education (CTLE). It explores the participation of the founders of Hudson in the Revolutionary War effort, their lives after the Revolution and, in some cases, the accomplishments of their descendants. We will discuss the application of this fascinating history to Social Studies, Language Arts, and Art curriculum. The workshop will be facilitated by co-curators and educators Elaine Eichelberger and Brenda Shufelt. The exhibit material covered in this workshop will be online in 2026 and accessible to teachers and their classes on the Hudson River Valley Heritage website (hrvh.org). The workshop will include digital and physical resource materials on the topic for all participants and light dinner.
