NARROWSBURG – The Upper Delaware Council (UDC) will host a public presentation, “Wood, Coal and Water: Three Essentials that Changed the River Valley” by Glenn Pontier, on Thursday, November 6, at 6:30 p.m., at the UDC’s 211 Bridge St., Narrowsburg, NY office and virtually by Zoom.
Now retired, long-time local resident Glenn Pontier has been editor of The River Reporter and executive director of Sullivan Renaissance. He currently works as a docent at Fort Delaware Museum of Colonial History, talking about 18th Century medicine.
