Hurley Mountain Stories
The Hurley Mountain Stories exhibit focuses on a poor, rural, multi-racial community, where free Blacks owned land as early as 1795 in slave-ridden New York State. The project follows this community as it evolves through national crises, from the Civil War through the Depression and to World War I. The website provides researchers, students, and other visitors a variety of options, including “Stories”, “Collections”, and “Items” to explore this fascinating American History.
