If you’re searching for something meaningful during this holiday season for a friend, neighbor or relative, consider gifting them with a membership to Peekskill Herald. Your gift will keep them informed about events and developments in the Friendly Town and will support independent, accurate community journalism.  Every donation during December will go twice as far as part of our NewsMatch campaign where every dollar is matched.  

As a non-profit news site, the Herald relies on the support of its readers to continue reporting on the people, events and history of Peekskill. Give a gift today and we’ll send a card to your recipient featuring Peekskill artist Bob Barthelmes’ sketch of “Bringing Home the Tree.” He recalls this scene from his childhood growing up in Finktown. This image is of Grant Avenue, just above Park Street.
