Time Travel

A Short Trip on Ulster County Roads & Bridges
by
Spring 2024

“Public records are the frozen mind of the people.” Thus begins the introduction to transcriptions of Early Records of New York State showing the meetings and laws covering Road Commissioners of Ulster County, Volume I, 1722-1769.

The book is an interesting read, especially if you ever wondered who laid out some of the rural roads we use today and what ever were they thinking?! The explanation is couched in who had the say as to where a road was to be laid out, and just how early eminent domain was used to make roads a little more direct.
