LOST INWOOD
—Richard Roberts’ 1930s Tubby Hook waterfront movies–
-TUESDAY APRIL 1st, 7:30PM at THE INWOOD FARM –
Spring is in the air, and what better way to celebrate than with a return of one of Inwood’s most beloved history night programs! Back by popular demand, we are thrilled to present Richard Roberts’ legendary Hudson River/Tubby Hook home movies from the 1930s—a perennial favorite.
Step back in time as we showcase these captivating 16mm reels, lovingly digitized and brought to life with Roberts’ signature storytelling flair and wit. These unique films offer an engaging glimpse into the vibrant boating and riverfront scene of Inwood and Tubby Hook during the 1930s.
For those unfamiliar with Roberts’ story, he grew up in one of the boathouses at the foot of Dyckman Street—now the site of The Hudson restaurant. His home movies capture a slice of life that few have seen, and his narration is as entertaining as it is enlightening.
But that’s not all! As we immerse ourselves in riverfront history, we’ll also explore the forgotten stories of other boat houses that once lined this Uptown stretch of the Hudson River—an era long gone but not forgotten.
Join us for an evening of nostalgia, storytelling, and community spirit. Tuesday April 1st 7:30pm at THE INWOOD FARM. It’s free to the public, but reservations are highly recommended.
