Upcoming Presentation: Scarsdale's Revolutionary Transition

Scarsdale’s Revolutionary Transition: From Colonial Manor to American Town
March 16th at 6:45 PM
The Scott Room at Scarsdale Public Library OR Live Virtual

Join us for a presentation from Scarsdale Village Historian and Vice President of the Scarsdale Historical Society, Jordan Copeland. He’ll examine Scarsdale’s transformation from a colonial manor to an American town in the aftermath of the Revolution. It explains what it meant to live under the manor system, how Scarsdale was governed before independence, and what changed when that structure gave way to town government. Drawing on surviving records from the 1700s, the talk explores what we know about daily life in Scarsdale, including what mattered most to its residents, how authority was exercised, and how early residents contributed to the creation of a community.
