• Historic Huguenot Hosts ‘Or Give Me Death': an Educational Tour (newpaltz.edu) — Historic Huguenot Street recently turned its colonial burying ground into a living classroom, tracing how New Paltz families experienced and influenced the Revolutionary War. From militia service and women-led boycotts to a loyalist shopkeeper’s imprisonment and the reburial of Sankofa, the tour highlighted stories rooted directly in village graves and long-standing New Paltz names. 
• Ulster County economic summit explores food production, jobs and workforce development (hudsonvalleyone.com) — Ulster County leaders, educators, and food producers gathered at iPark 87 to map out how local agriculture and workforce training can drive the region’s economy, with County Executive Jen Metzger emphasizing people-centered development. New Paltz gets a nod through Bjorn Qorn co-owner Stephanie Bauman, who grew up there and recalls summers at Mohonk, underscoring how local roots and regional institutions shape today’s food and jobs strategy.
