Our Neighborhood Rolls Community Mural
Open to the public Reher Center Courtyard, near 3 Spring Street
In August 2020, visiting Artist Julia Vogl worked with the students of the Rondout Neighborhood Center's Read and Write program to articulate questions to ask the broader Kingston community that represent our diversity, what we share, and what we value. Using stencils and a color scheme designed by Vogl, community members spray painted answers from 148 respondents to the students' questions.

The Reher Center’s Collection includes objects and documents that were left behind by the Reher family in their home and business dating from 1900-2004 as well as artifacts that were recovered from the building’s courtyard during a 2013 archeological dig. This portal of our selected digitized artifacts includes handwritten recipe books, family photographs, and business-related ephemera.
“Rising Time” presents artifacts collected from one building to tell twin stories of continuity and change in Kingston’s Rondout community between the 1870s and 2004. The exhibit marks the culmination of a major project taken place during the summer of 2017, to research and catalog the Reher Center’s collection of over 5,000 artifacts.
