This historic town on the east bank of the Hudson River is famous for its many well-preserved Revolutionary War-era mansions and estates. You'll find formal gardens and period furnishings at Madam Brett Homestead (1709), home of one of the area's most celebrated women, Catharyna Brett, who ran a grist mill and helped organize the business efforts of local farmers in the early 18th century. Van Wyck Homestead Museum was originally built in 1732 and served as a headquarters during the Revolutionary War. You can also visit the 14-acre Mount Gulian Historic Site which includes a restored mansion, colonial gardens, living historical recreations, and a unique Dutch barn of the 1720s.
