NARROWSBURG, NY — “Postcards and Poetry: An Historical View of Tusten through Verse” will be featured at the annual local history event of Tusten Historical Society on Sunday, October 2 at 2 p.m. at the Tusten Town Hall, 200 Bridge St.

For the project, regional poets have written poems to accompany postcards from the historical society’s archives. The project is made possible by the 2016 Arts for Sullivan Decentralization program, funded by New York State Council on the Arts and administered by the Delaware Valley Arts Alliance.

Sharing the program will be a presentation by the National Park Service on the Battle of Minisink, which took place on July 22, 1779 near what is now Barryville. Lt. Col. Benjamin Tusten, the doctor for whom Tusten was named, was one of the casualties in this battle, which has been recorded as one of the bloodiest battles of the Revolutionary War. Minisink Battleground Park is listed on both the National Register and the Revolutionary War Heritage Trail. This was the only battle of the Revolutionary War to take place in the Upper Delaware Valley.

Admission is free. Light refreshments will be served.
