This image is from the Pageant of Newburgh that took place in 1915 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the incorporation of the City of Newburgh. The enactors are dressed like the Palatines, the original European settlers of Newburgh, and are all citizens of the City. This weekend some citizens of our City have volunteered to re-enact some of the characters buried at the Old Town and St. George's Cemeteries, so it's somewhat of a tradition that our rich history has been appreciated long before us. The photograph was taken by F.A.Peck, a productive photographer who took many community photographs.
