Steiner Historian, Village of Sleepy Hollow 129 Farrington Avenue Sleepy Hollow, New York 10591 914-631-8275 email nevsteiner@aol.com RECEIVED Januarys 1999 mmmmum JAN Mayor Treacy & the Village Board of Trustees Village of Sleepy Hollow 28 Beekman Avenue Sleepy Hollow, NY 10591 AYOR'S CFFIC r AAV i re: Village Historian's Report Dear Gentlemen: I enjoy working as Sleepy Hollow's village historian, and I thought it might be appropriate to give you an idea of what I have been doing in that role. "What does a village historian do?" This is the question I have heard from friends involved in the village governments of other Westchester villages who were in the process of appointing a village historian. All I could offer was a description of what I was doing and suggest that a village historian should use his best judgment and try to accomplish as much as he can with the time and resources available to him. Here is an recap of what I have been doing, and I would be glad to hear your comments: Correspondence I have attempted to reply to phone, mail and email inquiries which have been addressed to me as village historian. The staff at village hall has been kind enough to forward inquiries to me. On one occasion, at the request of Trustee Munroe, I wrote a letter in support of the application to name the Hudson River an "American Heritage River." Books Although my book projects do not represent official actions, they certainly tie-in with the village's history and my role as village historian. My hope is that my books will inform the public about what is historically unique about our village The Place Names of Historic Sleepy Hollow and Tarrytown was published this summer by Heritage Books in Maryland. (Please note that the Village of Sleepy Hollow is mentioned first in the title, as it should be— alphabetically.) I have also completed a new book relating to the history of the area entitled "A Historically Annotated "Legend of Sleepy Hollow. " It is slated for publication this year. Lectures As village historian 1 have lectured to a number of groups: architecture students at the City University of New York, social �311 studies classes at Washington Irving School, and various civic and cultural groups. i I Media On occasion I have been contacted by the media to comment on matters relating to local history. Website For the past year and a half I have maintained a simply-constructed, unofficial web page to inform the public about some of the unique historic features of our village. To date, this site has hosted over nine thousand visitors. (The web page can be found by going to "Yahoo" and typing key words— Sleepy Hollow Home Page.) Kidd'sRock In August, 1997,1 began an effort to restore and mark Kidd's Rock, one of this village's surviving, but neglected, landmarks Westchester County owns Kingsland Point Park— where the rock is located. I am happy to report that this fall the county responded through the good offices of County Representative Sue Swanson and Parks Commission Sal DeSantis. The rock has now been partially restored and properly marked with an attractive sign which will enable future generations to appreciate the cultural significance of the landmark. I provided the text displayed on the sign. The Pocantico Trout Another project with a historic tie-in has been the restoration of the Pocantico River as a trout stream. I believe that this project, which the village board continues to support, is something which transcends sport fishing. It is an ongoing work of environmental and cultural conservation, with educational dividends. Research I have responded to requests from the mayor and others for information on particular aspects of local history. Inventory of assets One of thefirstactions I took as village historian was a review of what I considered to be the village's important historic assets. An inventory is a logical first step, but it is value is small unless some action is taken to protect our historic treasures from harm—or even restore them. Our unique, historic village should institute its own register of historic places and adopt regulations to safe-guard the heirlooms and icons of our shared, historic legacy. These are some of the activities which have occupied me as village historian. I am available to consult with you on any matter which may have a historical component such as village literature, signage, content for the new, official village web page, etc. There are other projects which I would like to take-on—given world and time enough. One idea (suggested about two years ago by Mayor Treacy) was the idea of a "living history" of our i �village. In other words, get the comments and recollections of village old-tamers on tape as a record for future generations. I think this could yield an invaluable document. It could be done on audio or video tape and transcribed. It would probably require the cooperation of some repository such as the historical society or the library, and a production budget, the size of which would depend on the scope of the project. If the village board would like a detailed proposal for a project of this sort I hope you will contact me. I believe it would be desirable to review village documents and records periodically for material of historic value which should be archived—particularly any documents scheduled to be purged. This kind of process would of course require access, budgeting and a suitable repository for the records. I welcome your collective or individual comments, questions and suggestions about how I can better serve the village through my work in this capacity.
