Our Heritage Crafts Day coming up on Saturday August 8th is being funded by Rev 250 Dutchess County. This will certainly be a family friendly event. Thank you Dutchess County Government.

As part of Rev250, celebrating the 250th anniversary of the American Revolution, Dutchess County is funding several local projects, activities, and events throughout the year to help our neighbors learn how the Revolution shaped the community. County Executive Sue Serino encourages residents to take part in these family-friendly events that celebrate the 250th anniversary of America’s independence.

Our friends and colleagues from the Van Wyck Homestead will kick off their tour season today.

Today is the opening day of our 2026 tour season of the revolutionary Van Wyck Homestead Museum in Fishkill! Commemorate the nation's 250th anniversary with a tour to learn about Fishkill's vital role in the Revolutionary War, notable figures in Fishkill through the years, and what colonial-era life was like for families like the Van Wycks.

Volunteer docents will strive to open the museum from 1:00 to 4:00 on Saturdays and Sundays from today through October. No reservations are necessary. There is no charge for tours; however, donations are graciously accepted. The last tour begins at 3:30.

The museum's address is 504 US 9, Fishkill, NY, and the driveway is accessed from Snook Road, very near its intersection with Route 9.
