Book Details History of Helderbergs

KNOX - Berne (Knox) authors John Elberfeld and Jane McLean gave a weekend presentation at the Octagon Barn focusing on their new book, "Helderberg Hilltowns."

The book, published by Vantage Press (Arcadia Publishing), is a written and pictorial history of the Hilltowns of Berne, Knox, Westerlo and Rensselaerville from the early Dutch colonial settlers to the Anti-Rent Wars to the founding of the Huyck Preserve. During September and October, many of the archival photos and illustrations used in researching the book will be on display at the Albany Convention and Visitors Bureau, 25 Quackenbush Square, Albany. For information, go to http://www.albany.org/visitors-center/ .

The authors will have a presentation and sign books Nov. 3 at the Guilderland Public Library.

For more events and information on buying the book, go to http://www.beebefarm.info.
