Scattered around the northeast is a wide array of stone circles, balanced boulders, and stone chambers. These structures most closely resemble ancient Celtic construction in Europe. Some of the stones weigh many tons, and a good deal of technical skill was required to set them properly in place. Were they built by visiting Druids, and what purpose did they serve? The mysteries of their placement and their meaning, and why Putnam County seems to be the epicenter of this activity, will be explored in a lecture by Chip Marks at the Putnam History Museum, at 5 pm, on Saturday, February 8th.

Chip Marks is a lifelong resident of the Hudson Valley. He has studied the natural, cultural, and ancient history of the region for many years.
