Historic Preservation
Steiner at Wicker’s Creek (Weckquaesgeck)
Henry John Steiner has been involved in many historic preservation efforts. Perhaps the most significant was his role as co-leader in the successful 1996 Sleepy Hollow renaming, when historic Sleepy Hollow reclaimed its rightful name and international recognition. He has also been an ardent campaigner to preserve Hudson River historical sites from profit driven exploitation—both private and corporate.
A few of the causes he has lent his support to are:
The preservation
of the house and grounds of the John C. Fremont estate
The preservation
of the house and grounds of the Phelps-James estate
The
preservation of the Tarrytown Lakes
The
preservation of original Beekmantown residences
The
preservation of and public access to post-industrial sites along the Hudson
River
The Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow
The John C. Fremont House
The Phelps-James House
The Tarrytown Lakes
The General Motors Site
