Description
"Newburgh, as you know better than I, is home to some of the most renowned architectural masterpieces of America—just look behind me and look around you as you walk down these streets. Within these city limits, we see so much of America’s history over the past two, three centuries. A town settled long before our revolutionary war, built by the sweat and ingenuity of people from all backgrounds and walks of life. Graced by the talent of leading architects it developed into a thriving economic and cultural center. But like many cities, particularly in the older part of our country, its fortunes fell during the depression only to rise and fall again. Today, while challenges still remain, this beautiful city is again on the verge of a rebirth that will make it possible once again to claim its rightful place in the life and history of America." - First Lady Hillary Clinton, July 1998
Newburgh/Revealed is a Web site that ultimately aims to encourage people to visit, start businesses in, shop in, and move to Newburgh by revealing the rich architectural and cultural history of the city, exploring the factors that led to its decline, and showing off its enormous potential and recent improvements.
Newburgh is one of many smaller cities and communities that started wasting away because of the death of the manufacturing sector in the United States, the spread of regional shopping centers, the worship of economies of scale, and the exodus into the suburbs.
