“The History of Hyde Park-On-Hudson” is a big story to tell.

Howard Hunt, Katharine Hepburn, French General Charles DeGaulle, and even Timothy Leary.
Carney Rhinevault is Hyde Park Town Historian and the author of six books, including THE HOME FRONT AT ROOSEVELT'S HOMETOWN: SMALL TOWN AMERICA DURING WORLD WAR II, HIDDEN HISTORY OF THE MID-HUDSON VALLEY: STORIES FROM THE ALBANY POST ROAD and THE HISTORY OF HYDE PARK-ON-HUDSON.
