A BRAND NEW NEWBURGH BOOK!!
NEWBURGH:
THE HEART OF THE CITY
By Pat Favata
Newburgh: The Heart of the City focuses on one of the widest thoroughfares in the Northeast, Broadway, the main street in Newburgh, measuring one hundred thirty-two feet across. Known as the 'heart of the city,' Broadway was the activity center in the twentieth century. It was lined with government offices, commercial and business enterprises, schools, churches, restaurants, firehouses, farms, fortune-tellers, and entertainment and recreational establishments. Citizens of many generations paraded up and down the wide way, participating in hundreds of celebrations. Broadway was not only the street of everyman but also the street of presidents, playing host to both Franklin D. Roosevelt and John F. Kennedy.
The book will be available in the Crawford House gift shop, or online at the giftshop
All proceeds from the sale of Newburgh: The Heart of the City will go to the Newburgh Historical Society.
