It is with deep sadness that Historic Huguenot Street acknowledges the passing of Dr. A.J. Williams-Myers on July 12, 2021. Dr. Williams-Myers provided invaluable contributions to the museum’s educational programming in his roles as Board Trustee and longtime Scholarly Advisor to HHS. We extend our sympathies to his family, friends, and colleagues.
A.J. Williams-Myers was honored as Pinkster King at HHS in 2018, shown below. His knowledge of the history of Pinkster was instrumental in planning the event.

This cozy, hand sewn quilt was crafted by Catherine Jane Deyo LeFevre (1828-1891) before or circa 1855. The quilt is called “Mariner’s Compass,” named for the 20 colorful compasses that decorate the quilt in red, green, and gold. The border of the quilt features alternating oak leaves and flowers in the same colors, with oak leaves also decorating the spaces between compasses. The compass design is a classic nautical symbol and one of the earliest quilt patterns. Catherine used a quilting technique called applique to create this design, a technique in which quilters sew pieces of fabric to a larger surface to make a pattern.
Catherine Jane Deyo was born in New Paltz to Roelif Deyo and Blandina Freer in 1828. She married Elias LeFevre (1824-1890) in 1855 and documentation states that Catherine made this quilt prior to their marriage. Catherine and Elias had 10 children together and likely lived in Ulster County. She passed away on March 10, 1891 and is buried in the New Paltz Rural Cemetery.
Mariner’s Compass Quilt, before or circa 1855. HHS Permanent Collection, gift of Leslie Mott.

Curating Black history
"I'm always reminded that there's great local museums in every municipality and county in this great country. So, you know, please support your local museums.... There's also the ways that I think a museum is a way of connecting with these stories and these objects. And what I see is a real change in museum culture and that museums are starting to understand their public charge in a whole new way. When I started in archives, there was very much a sense that, "We got to protect this material at all costs." And, you know, my experience and my wish -- and I think the field has shifted in this way, too -- was for as many people as possible to know about it and connect with it. If you have this wonderful object, why wouldn't you want more people to see it? And one of the great things about the museum is that you can come in, and, to me, it's your museum. You are seeing the things we're keeping safe for eternity for you and for you to experience, young or old, no matter what."
Listen to the new director of the National African American Museum of History and Culture about what it means to interact directly with history in a recent Post Reports podcast: https://www.washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/curating-black-history/
As museums open up, we wanted to talk to the new director of the National African American Museum of History and Culture about what it means to interact directly with history. Plus, why air travel feels worse than ever.

Historic Huguenot Street leads “Boos & Brews” haunted tours through July
"Through archival and genealogical research. . . the street, to those who know its history, can become very much alive if one takes the time to stop and look and listen closely. To that end, each Friday and Saturday night in July, Historic Huguenot Street (HHS) offers its Boos and Brews haunted tours. There are many tales of murder and mayhem, fascinating folklore and accounts of visitations from the other side of the grave that come to life as the tour guide, HHS arts and interpretation manager Megan Stacey, unspools some of the street’s more macabre history."

The Lutheran Indian Mission school in Gresham, Wisconsin, was built in 1901 and enrolled almost 120 students from the Stockbridge Munsee community as well as 11 other tribes. Native American boarding schools, also known as Indian Residential Schools, were established in the United States during the early 19th and mid 20th centuries with a primary objective of forcibly assimilating Native American children and youth into Euro-American culture. Most schools forced removal of indigenous cultural signifiers, including cutting the children's hair, having them wear American-style uniforms, forbidding them from speaking their indigenous languages, and replacing their tribal names with English-language names.
Investigations of the later twentieth century have revealed many documented cases of abuse occurring mostly in church-run schools. Recently, the Cowessess First Nation in Saskatchewan found 751 unmarked graves at the site of a former residential school, just one month after more than 200 unmarked graves were found at another school in British Columbia. You can learn more about the history of Indian Residential Schools here: https://www.npr.org/2021/06/29/1011357949/uncovering-the-unspoken-traumas-of-native-american-boarding-schools.

Late last month, staff from Historic Huguenot Street visited the Arvid E. Miller Library Museum and Cultural Affairs Department in Bowler, Wisconsin, the official repository for the archives of the Stockbridge Munsee community, one of the descendent communities of the original inhabitants of New Paltz. The Stockbridge Munsee community supports HHS’s related programming, research, and scholarship. The Arvid E. Miller museum’s primary goal is to preserve and protect the history and culture for the community and general public. The museum contains collections of objects and documents related to the Stockbridge Munsee people that date from pre-contact to present day, including objects from the Hudson Valley and Northeast region of the United States.

Have you ever been on our site and wondered what happened here exactly on July 4, 1776? Well, at that time, news traveled slowly. The people of New York City didn’t find out about our newfound independence until July 10 and, for people in Connecticut, news arrived a couple days later on July 12. So for New Paltz, it was business as usual for roughly another week, as we see here with Simon’s receipt for the purchase of deerskin. Several men in New Paltz signed the Articles of Association in 1775, which were written in response to the “intolerable acts” imposed by the British government, so they knew the colonies were in opposition. One of the signers of the Articles was Simon DuBois. By 1776, Simon was one of the Twelve Men governing New Paltz and had inherited the DuBois Fort, which was built by his father, Daniel, and now serves as the HHS Visitor Center.
The receipt reads:
“Received the 4th July 1776 from Mr. Simon Duboy by the Hand of his Son One Pound Ten Shilling in full for [one?] Dear Skin
[J.?] Cornl E. Wynkoop
£1.10”
Receipt dated 4th July 1776. HHS Archives, Daniel and Simon DuBois Family Papers

This week, the Curatorial Department is pleased to present four silver teaspoons made by Frederick Francis Quintard, a jeweler and silversmith active in Poughkeepsie, New York between 1845 and 1865. Frederick was a descendant of Isaac Quintard, a Huguenot weaver who immigrated to North America in the 1690s and became a merchant. His son Pierre, born in New York in 1699, became a well-known silversmith in the City. Later, Pierre was active in Norwalk, Connecticut. Despite Pierre’s renown as a silver- and goldsmith, the craft seems to have skipped several generations. While Frederick and two of his brothers, Charles and William, were silversmiths, their father George had been a shoemaker.
The teaspoons are marked on the back of the handle “FF Quintard.” They feature upturned fiddle handles and rounded shoulders and were made from “coin silver.” Coin silver is an alloy of 90% silver and 10% copper. Until around the 1870s, American silversmiths had no reliable source of silver to work from, so they often bought and melted existing silver pieces (including coins) to make objects for their clients. This accounts, in part, for the rarity of early American silver pieces.
Set of four coin silver teaspoons, mid-19th century. HHS Permanent Collection, Bequest of Phyllis DuBois.
Detail from the 1860 U.S. Federal Census for Poughkeepsie, NY, listing Frederick Quintard, age 26, jeweler.

Facts and Folkore of the DuBois Fort #MuseumsFromHome
We’re excited to share some “edutainment” today from our Arts and Interpretation Manager, Amber Neilson, as she explores “Facts and Folklore of the DuBois Fort” part one. You might be surprised to discover that history is not always “set in stone,” and we do our best to debunk myths at HHS whenever we get the chance. Like any good legend, the deeper you get into the story, the zanier it gets—and this video is no different! Part two of the “Facts and Folklore” series will be posted next Friday, so be sure to tune in! #MuseumsFromHome #SupportHVMuseums
