November 2nd, 2008: Thank you to all that came for the opening of the exhibit Mexican Art: Dia De Muertos. We look forward to more Mexican-American gallery displays in the near future. Check back for 2008/2009 offerings.
On May 30, 1888, at a Memorial Day service, William Allen Butler, a Yonkers lawyer and poet, suggested a monument to remember the Yonkers soldiers who had fought to preserve the union during the Civil War.
His vision was realized three years later, when the the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument was dedicated on the grounds of Philipse Manor Hall SHS, which, at the time, was acting as Yonkers City Hall.
