Established in 1979 as a hub for art, culture, and history in the historic 1872 Richard Morris Hunt building, designed originally as a library. The building was the first in the City of Beacon to be listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The Howland Cultural Center has earned its reputation for its exceptional acoustics in the Northcutt Hall gallery. The gallery is free to the public and is open on most weekends, by appointment, and by chance.
Gabriel Mckee’s new book The Saucerian uncovers the strange, subversive life of Gray Barker, a UFO publisher who blurred the line between folklore and fakery.
On April 18, the Howland Cultural Center once again plays host to Nerd Nite Hudson Valley. Expect an evening of medieval warfare, spelling revolutions, and cinematic mythmaking.
