LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY (January 21, 2012) – There is still a little time to register for the spring semester class on Sullivan County History at Sullivan County Community College in Loch Sheldrake.

The class runs from 6:00 p.m. to 8:50 p.m. for fifteen weeks on Monday evenings beginning January 30. 

The course is taught by John Conway (photo left), Sullivan County Historian since 1993, who has been teaching this class since 1999. 

Sullivan County History is interesting, entertaining, and informative, featuring the Lenape, their culture and language, the earliest settlers, the importance of transportation, including the D&H Canal, the railroads and the Liberty Highway, the beginnings of the motion picture industry here, the internationally renowned resort industry, farming, and the history of the area as a healing environment.

Class size is small and lots of interaction is possible. The course carries three college credits or it can be audited.
