Reher Center in Roundout, Kingston (Aired On September 1 & 2, 2018)

RadioRotary interviews Geoff Miller, Chair of the Steering Committee for the
Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History, a project of the Jewish
Federation of Ulster County. The Center is a museum celebrating all the
immigrants who settled the region, not just the Jews, and occupies a 19 th -century
Jewish bakery that primarily served the immigrants who streamed into America
throughout the 19 th and early 20 th centuries. The museum aims to depict
immigrant life of that period. The Reher Center, at 99-101 Broadway in the
Historic Roundout waterfront of Kingston, New York, is located in the part of
Kingston that was originally a small community on the Hudson, while Kingston
itself occupied the bluff above the river. The Center is a work in progress, with
the museum only open a few hours a week at present. Tours require special
arrangements.
