Irvington Historical Society presentation by Thom Johnson and Rob Yasinsac. “Teaching from Ruins” is dedicated to Irvington’s Peter K. Oley whose “out-of-the-box” teaching of history inspired Yasinsac to learn about ruins in and around the village. At Irvington High School, Yasinsac was a student of Johnson who taught photography and instilled an urgency to document architectural treasures in Irvington and beyond.
The combined learning led Yasinsac to co-author the book Hudson Valley Ruins, uncovering lost and endangered properties. Twenty-one years after high school, Johnson and Yasinsac continue to inform visitors to the Hudson Valley about its ruins.

For those of us that live 2,500 miles outside of New York, you should do a pod cast, or something like that so we can hear/watch it.
A good idea! But my technological knowledge is not up there. Someday perhaps!
I’m going to look into boosting your technological knowledge. I have a family member who does these types of posts quite often.
Old Irvington resident now living in Ontario, Canada would love to have you share you photos with me as I am currently battling cancer. Thank You.
