Join us on September 17th, 2022 for  PIERMONT HERITAGE DAY

• This celebration of Piermont will begin at 12pm in Flywheel Park with the unveiling of the Thomas Pomplin Memorial:
  

  • 'Pomp' as he was known in his time, died at 28 years old in 1854, the first Rockland County firefighter lost in the line of duty

  • Because Pomplin was black, he was denied the distinction

  • Dan Goswick and Empire Hose members, driving forces behind this belated recognition, hope that the entire Village will join the firefighting and emergency service community in honor and celebration

  • The formal ceremonies are expected to last an hour with attendees lingering in both the Village and at Goswick Pavilion

• Then at 5pm, Gair Memorial Park will be transformed into an information gateway, realizing the promise of our historic downtown:
  

  • The permanent installation of eight panels will be revealed

  • These beautiful panels share information about Village history, the river, local recreation, wayfaring to our many businesses, and more

  • The festivities will include music and surprises, and are expected to last an hour
