Celebrate Architecture and Design With Archtober Newburgh

For architecture buffs looking to increase their knowledge and share a love of the built environment, Archtober Newburg brings workshops, walking tours, scavenger hunts, and more in October.

The month-long Archtober celebration, organized by the Center for Architecture, has a busy calendar within the five boroughs, but for the second year a full slate of events is being offered to celebrate and raise awareness of Newburgh’s heritage. Organizations within the architecturally rich city are hosting more than 20 goings-on from October 4 to 6 and on October 12.

Old-house lovers looking to gain some hands-on skills can join a Lime Mortar Workshop, budding historians can participate in the Scan-a-thon: Digitize Your Archive event, and those curious about architectural ornament can take the Seeing Newburgh’s 19th Century Ironwork walking tour. The long list of activities also includes info on technical assistance grants, a tax credit workshop with the State Historic Preservation Office, and a student-led walking tour.

The full calendar of free events is available online at the website of The Fullerton a local nonprofit organizing the function along with AIA Westchester + Hudson Valley. AIA credits are being offered for some programs. Check the online calendar, as dates, meeting locations, and RSVP requirements vary.
