Grateful for community support that made 17th Century Tottenville History Comes Alive possible:
•COSHSI grant (1999)
• NY Public Library workshops
• NY State Assembly recognition as "Staten Island Woman in History" (2002)
• Local TV coverage including that of Gabe Pressman on WNBC

The interactive workshops revealed stories and connections no archive could provide.
