Art of the Ramapo Valley at Harmony Hall!

Geoff Welch has been researching and doing field work on this subject for over 25 years. During that period, Dr. Kenneth Maddox of the Newington-Cropsey Foundation was researching and writing art entries for what is to be a three volume Jasper Francis Cropsey Catalogue-Raisonne. Dr. Maddox became an invaluable resource, adviser and friend, whom we sadly lost at the end of 2018.

      Harmony Hall (1848) is a National and NY State Register of Historic Places Site in Sloatsburg, built by Jacob Sloat, who befriended Cropsey in 1846, inviting him to stay with his family for a visit from Sept. 4 - Sept. 14, 1846.  More details on Cropsey’s many visits to Sloatsburg will be presented in Art of the Ramapo River Valley!
