Since the early 19th century, Rondout’s lower Broadway has attracted generations of entrepreneurial immigrants, one of whom was Frank Reher, who emigrated from Krakow and opened a bread bakery at the corner of Broadway and Spring Street in 1908. The trend continues today, with immigrants from Mexico, Italy, Morocco, Austria, Sweden and other countries opening businesses in the neighborhood to support their families and grow Kingston’s economy. This inaugural exhibit honors that legacy.
Many thanks to the Hudson Valley Credit Union for their sponsorship of this exhibit.
Summer 2018 Reher Center Programming was made possible by a generous donation from the Norman I. Krug family of Sonoma Valley inn/Dry Creek Inn.
