EXPLORING Ulster County: 1683-2013 Celebrating 330 Years of Ulster County
Welcome to the Exploring Ulster County Poster Project, an exhibit of colorful, insightful and imaginative posters! Fourth grade students from public and private schools throughout Ulster County submitted posters to this exhibit. The students were given the opportunity to interpret “Explore Ulster County” in their own way and in any medium. The unique style and content of each poster shows the creativity and talent that our students possess.
