AMENIA — Since it began in 2021, the Troutbeck Symposium has been true to its vision to connect schools, educators, artists, historians and cultural institutions throughout New York and Connecticut. Key to the program is helping students engage in primary-source research into a slice of history that excites their curiosity, telling forgotten local stories or piecing together those that were under-recorded.

Symposium organizers held an interactive planning session for the 2027 event on Sunday, Oct. 4, at the Troutbeck Conference Center in Amenia. Invited were educators from area public and independent schools, historians, artists, historical societies, museums and others who could spark creative ideas toward the presentations to be featured at next year’s event.

Heating costs squeeze Northwest Corner households

Dutchess County residents are buying heating oil in smaller quantities, spreading payments over the year and turning to firewood as rising prices put pressure on household budgets and heating-assistance programs.

New York’s average heating-oil price reached $6.16 a gallon in the state, according to the state’s Research and Development Authority’s Sept. 28 survey. That’s up nearly 66% from the same week last year, when a gallon cost $3.73.
