Join author Tony Musso as he shares tales of some of the mobsters buried at St. John's Cemetery & learn how they helped shape the NY Mafia.
About this Event

The New York Mafia consisted of five crime families with hundreds of members. Some met violent ends, while others lived long enough to die of natural causes. Mafia Burial Ground: The Mob and St. John’s Cemetery profiles every Mafia member buried there—some lying near allies, others resting close to the very people who ordered their deaths. Local author Anthiny Musso’s presentation will highlight some of those individuals, who in their own way shaped the existence of the New York Mafia.

Anthony Musso is a historian, author, and honorary member of the Wappingers Historical Society. He has written numerous books about varying topics of history in the Mid-Hudson Valley. Book signing takes place at the end of the presentation.

This event is part of our Speaker Series programming. The public is invited to attend. WHS member admission is free, non-member suggested donation of $5.00. Seating is limited and is on a first come/first serve basis. Doors open at 6:30pm.
