09/21/2026
The September episode of "Crossroads of Rockland History" begins streaming on Monday, September 21, at 10am on all major podcast platforms and here on the HSRC website.
On the September, 2026 episode of "Crossroads of Rockland History" host Clare Sheridan will welcome three members of the Piermont Historical Society: Barbara Scheulen Daniel Sherman and Michael Davidson. They will all be on hand to discuss the Historic Homes & Landmark Tour that will take place in Piermont and Sparkill on Saturday, October 3rd.
This year's tour will take place in and around the Rockland Road Bridge Historic District – Known as “The Birthplace of Piermont.” It is the oldest and most historic area of Piermont and many of the surrounding buildings have maintained their 18th and 19th-century character. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the oldest house in Piermont is here and once hosted George Washington.
The house tour will be a self-guided walking tour on which a number of houses and other significant sites within and near the Historic District, and in nearby Sparkill will be open to the public. The tour both promotes these Orangetown communities and their historic importance to our region.
