In spring 2005, Alex McKnight and Steve Hubbert undertook an unique project for the Museum. They coordinated a videotaping of several Rhinecliff natives who were to recollect their early days in Rhinecliff. The interview covered the periods from the very early 1920s to the 1950s. Topics covered include the Schools, the Hudson River, the Railroads, and the people of Rhinecliff.

The following is a small sampling of this work. Currently, an effort is underway to complete the editing of these interviews. They will be packaged in a multi-DVD boxed set that will be available for purchase late 2006 or early 2007 as a fundraiser for the Museum.

This initiative is part of the Museum of Rhinebeck History's Oral History Project. To date over four dozen people have been interviewed, and one publication has been produced using some of the material from the earlier grouping of oral histories, which covered the schools and churches of Rhinebeck. To obtain a copy of that publication, titled Rhinebeck: The Parlor City, please call the number below, or send $3.89 ($3 per copy plus 89 cents per copy for postage and handling) to Museum of Rhinebeck History, P.O. Box 816, Rhinebeck, NY 12572.
