Apr 21, 2021
Produced by Julia Joern.
In the latest Hudson Valley Word of Mouth segment, Julia Joern meets up again in Hudson with Seth Kamil, founder of Big Onion Walking Tours and the soon-to-be-launched Hudson Valley Rover Tours. Now in its 30th year, Big Onion Walking Tours -- known worldwide for its comprehensive tours exploring the rich diversity of New York City -- has recently expanded to the Hudson Valley where stories of the architecture, culture, and legendary characters of our region are expertly woven together.
In this conversation, Kamil shares his knowledge of the history of alcohol in our area, including the rum distillers, beer brewers, and applejack makers of yesteryear, and the true life (and myth) of Jack "Legs" Diamond during Prohibition.
