The Rondout Social Maennerchor was formed on February 22, 1868, by a handful of German immigrants who loved choral singing. They were drawn together by their common language, and love for music, singing, and social activities so that their clubhouse, "Washington Hall", became a gathering place for similar organizations up and down the Hudson River.
