The East Fishkill Historical Society is committed to safeguarding the cultural heritage of the Hudson Valley, particularly East Fishkill, through the restoration, preservation and interpretation of its Dutch colonial farmhouse and its collection of local material culture. Through education, the Society hopes to develop and foster an understanding of East Fishkill’s history, while encouraging the community to appreciate and care for East Fishkill’s past, present and future.
Hello, friends! We hope you are all well. As the Summer days begin to get shorter we begin to look forward to the change of season and the start of our fall and holiday events.
Currently we are open for house tours on Sundays from 1pm-4pm till the end of September. Please stop by and see our new exhibit of local artifacts celebrating the 250th anniversary of the start of the American Revolution and the role that our local inhabitants played during that time.
This year we are proud to present our 7th annual East Fishkill Rombout Colonial Days Weekend on Saturday, September 27th and Sunday, September 28th. We are fortunate to have been the recipient of a grant from the Dutchess County government to present this event as a part of Dutchess County Rev 250, which is a partnership between the Dutchess County Government, the Dutchess County Historians office, and our local town historical societies here in Dutchess County. This immersive event will encourage visitor participation, with many hands-on activities being available. This year we will be joined by our history colleagues from Beacon, Fishkill, Lagrange, the Town of Wappinger, Mount Gullian and the Melzingah Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who will be sharing
information about their own organizations.
Please take a look at our upcoming events and join us as we celebrate all that Dutchess County has to offer.
