5:00 – 6:30 PM: Illustrated Talk “Greetings from Roscoe” at Roscoe Collective, 57 Stewart Avenue     

We celebrate our 17th historic marker in Roscoe, perched on the northern edge of the Borscht Belt. Once key hub for rail travel, rivers, and mountain life, Roscoe continues to serve as both a gateway and a gathering place for visitors and locals alike. 

Join us at 4:00 PM at the Roscoe O&W Museum for the dedication ceremony. At 5:00 PM, head to the Roscoe Collective for Greetings from Roscoe, an illustrated talk (/ exhibition) with photographers Isaac Jeffreys and Marisa Scheinfeld in conversation with Ahu Terzi of The Hound Books. Through rarely seen photos and ephemera, they’ll bring Roscoe’s Borscht Belt era to life, highlighting the architecture and distinctive vacation culture of the town’s resort years. The artists will also give a sneak peek at their upcoming publications.
