Timber Rafts, a Canal, Three Railroads, the Automobile and a Global Pandemic: The Role of Transportation in the Development of Sullivan County 
presented by: 
John Conway, County Historian and Co-founder of  Delaware Company

It is a fact that virtually every significant historic and economic milestone in Sullivan County's history has been preceded by a major breakthrough in transportation, and throughout our history it has been improvements in transportation infrastructure that has consistently fueled major population growth. That is, until the COVID-19 pandemic, during which droves of people fled the New York metropolitan area to escape the "urban penalty" of city living and to embrace the relative safety of rural living. What should we make of this phenomenon, and will those new residents remain here post-COVID?
