Crossroads of Rockland History: Mary Mowbray-Clarke
3/16/2026
The March episode of "Crossroads of Rockland History" starts streaming on Monday, March 16, at 10 am, on all major podcast platforms and here on the HSRC website.
Tune in to the next Crossroads of Rockland History when we will turn our attention to the new exhibition at the Haverstraw Brick Museum, “The Remarkable Landscape Design of Mary Mowbray-Clarke.”
Executive Director Rachel Whitlow and Educator Luke Spaltro will join host Clare Sheridan for a preview of this interesting and informative exhibition. A pioneer in every sense of the word, Mary Mowbray-Clarke’s story and contributions to the fields of preservation, art education, and landscape architecture continue to have a lasting impact today. As the mother of the modern arts movement, she organized art exhibitions, ran an influential bookstore, and became the only known female foreman of a WPA landscape design project.
The Haverstraw Brick Museum is dedicated to preserving the cultural and historical past of the Village of Haverstraw and the vibrant brick industry that created it. Come visit the museum and relive the impressive history of this fascinating time and unique area along the Hudson.
Hours are Saturday and Sunday, 1-4 pm, and by appointment on Tuesday-Thursday, 11 am-4 pm. Please call at least two weeks in advance, as times are subject to change.
