The Anti-Rent War, 1845
The Anti-Rent War was centered in the Catskills and pitted farmers against the landowning elite, known as the UpRenters. Here, in the little town of Andes, in August of 1845, a community came together in solidarity to rid themselves of their feudal bonds. Tired of exploitation, tenant farmers dressed in disguises and confronted landowners. This event was seminal in the Anti-Rent Wars. Rousing support for abolishing these feudal practices, the Anti-Rent movement continued to impact state politics for years to come.
- Exhibit featuring old photographs, letters, diaries, maps, clothing, tools, weapons, furniture, pottery, coins, jewelry, documents, artwork, and other artifacts provide firsthand accounts of this historical event.
