Gilded Age Summer Rowing Parties on the Tappan Zee
To escape New York’s hot, steamy summer evenings in the Gilded Age, villagers enjoyed evening barge parties on the Hudson River hosted by the Nyack Rowing Association (N.R.A.) founded in 1880. Built like a large, flat, floating platform with seats for rowers, barges moved like a boat but without the “tippy” feel of a standard rowboat.
