Hello friends! We hope you are all well and that you have enjoyed your summer here in the Hudson Valley. Summer has been a bit sad here at the Brinckerhoff House as we are missing two of our long time volunteers. Our lead garden volunteer, Judy Wolf, passed away in June, and her daughter, Tracy Wolf, experienced two strokes back in April. We missed Tracy during our spring field trips especially! Speaking of which, we always need volunteers to help with the school programs and weekend events we offer. Please consider spending your volunteer hours with us!

The next time you visit, be sure to notice our expanded parking area. We have been able to add approximately 18 more spaces, including 4 reserved ADA parking spaces.

Last fall we received an infrastructure grant from Dutchess County that is allowing us to make improvements to our site. One of those projects is currently underway and another will begin the first week of October.

As always, we greatly appreciate your continued support for all that we do. Please consider becoming actively involved. With the loss of several key people we welcome any and all help big or small our members are willing to give. Thank you.

History Matters!
