Irvington Historical Society presentation by Thom Johnson and Rob Yasinsac, Teaching from Ruins, is dedicated to Irvington’s Peter K. Oley whose “out-of-the-box” teaching of history inspired Yasinsac to learn about ruins in and around the village. At Irvington High School, Yasinsac was a student of Johnson who taught photography and instilled an urgency to document architectural treasures in Irvington and beyond. The combined learning led Yasinsac to co-author the book Hudson Valley Ruins, uncovering lost and endangered properties. Twenty-one years after high school, Yasinsac continues to work with Johnson to inform visitors to the Hudson Valley about its ruins.
