Come celebrate Cynthia Owen Philip's just published history of Rhinecliff

The complex, colorful history of the riverfront hamlet of Rhinecliff is hidden no longer, thanks to Cynthia Philip s lucid, compelling account of this centuries-old community a place that is so much more than an Amtrak stop and a stepchild to Rhinebeck. Here is the thoroughly researched, fluently written story of strong individuals and national change viewed in the intimate context of a Hudson Valley hamlet. This richly illustrated book is a gem.
