Visiting the WHI of the HHV
On April 26, 20 Kendalites visited the Women’s History Institute of the Historic Hudson Valley organization. The Women’s Historic Institute (WHI) brings to life the hidden stories of everyday women of the Hudson Valley who shaped the area’s life and culture. Like many other museums, initially, the Historic Hudson Valley (HHV) focused on the contributions made by prominent men to American government and society. However, the researchers typically neglected another — and rather compelling version of history — the hidden stories of the everyday women who shaped their families, communities, and the nation. The WHI has corrected the historical record by introducing us to the daily life and many achievements of previously unheralded women. The WHI is part of The Historic Hudson Valley’s Library, restoring, preserving, and interpreting historic landmarks of national significance to the Hudson River Valley.
