🪵 HISTORY

TANNERIES IN THE CATSKILLS

I’m back with more local lore! This week I'm learning about the rich history of tanneries in the Catskills. A thriving tanning industry in the 1800s left an indelible impact on the region's land, water, and resources. This super-light intro on the topic highlights Zadock Pratt, who built the largest tannery in the world at its time, and incorporated the town of Prattsville to accommodate the required labor force. Fellow history buffs can visit the Zadock Pratt Museum on Rt. 23 to learn more, or reach out to me for more information on the subject!
