Digital Exhibits
Kingston Multicultural Festival
This year, the Kingston Multicultural Festival launches ONLINE on June 14th. Encounter the vibrant culture of the Hudson Valley at your own pace by exploring our festival website where you will discover videos of your Hudson Valley neighbors sharing and teaching the music, languages, foods, and crafts from different cultures. Individuals and families, young and old alike are invited to be a part of this year's festival by contributing a square to our collective Cultural Quilt of the Hudson Valley.
“Sundays at the Bakery” explores the 1940s through the 1970s, when Kingstonians from the German, Irish, Italian, and Polish communities converged at Reher's Bakery to pick up rolls for breakfast on their way home from church. Explore this site to hear excerpts from interviews with former customers who describe those trips to Reher's Bakery and the delicious breads baked by this Jewish family that made their Sunday breakfasts complete.
“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.
