Margaret Lemon, 1930-2017, was a citizen of Tivoli New York.
As a child, Lemon grew up on the Delano estate where her father was a groundskeeper.
An avid scrapbooker all her life, Margaret had thousands of collected newspaper clippings dating from the early 1940’s to the present day. I had the pleasure of sitting down for several oral history interviews with Lemon in the final summer of her long life.

These interviews are a part of the Tivoli Oral History Project, recorded with help from Historic Red Hook, Bard Experimental Humanities, and Bard Digital History Lab.
Summer of 2017 – present.
