About TMI Project Workshops
TMI Project workshops help writers identify the “too-much-information” parts of their stories, the parts they usually leave out because they’re too ashamed or embarrassed. We lead writers through a creative process that allows them to share their most personal stories in a compelling, effective, and empowering narrative. We aim to incite positive social change by providing writers with the skills needed to be captivating live storytellers, and by amplifying the voices of populations whose stories often go unheard.Workshop Leader EVA TENUTO

Virtual Event
REGISTRATION REQUIRED:
Call 889-4683 or https://www.eventbrite.com/e/staatsburgh-staatsburg-tickets-133897060713?aff=This program will explore the relationship between Staatsburgh, the estate, and Staatsburg, the hamlet – note the different spellings, the village dropped the final “H” in the 1890s! Using period photographs and historic artifacts, staff will discuss significant buildings and highlight hidden locations in the hamlet that demonstrate Staatsburg's vibrant past and the lasting legacy of Ruth and Ogden Mills beyond the estate walls.
Staatsburgh, the Gilded Age home of Ruth and Ogden Mills, has always had a close relationship with the nearby hamlet of Staatsburg. The Hudson River estate was an industry in itself – providing steady employment for generations of local families. In return, Ruth, Ogden, and their children gave back to their adopted home-community. At the turn of the century, the hamlet of Staatsburg was a thriving hub of businesses and manufacturing, fueled by these landed estates and the modernizing nation.
This program will run approximately a half-hour and is open to all ages. Register now - spaces are limited! Attendees will receive special instructions on accessing the digital event upon sign-up.
