Dutchess County is full of it! From the
Revolutionary War to the Second World
War; from the Vanderbilts to the
Livingstons to the Roosevelts; we are
surrounded by an amazing amount of
history. Country homes and magnificent
estates showcase outstanding collections
of furniture and paintings. And yes, we
even have a castle, Bannerman’s Castle!
But for me, the gem of the county is the
Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library
and Museum, a place I’ve called home
since 1972. It is our nation’s first
presidential library, and the only one used
by a sitting president. It has hosted kings
and queens, statesmen, presidents and
first ladies, but most importantly to me, it
has been visited by millions of tourists
since it opened to the public in 1941. FDR
believed that people can learn from the
past to better create their future. That is
why history is so important to me and why
I love going to work every day.
—Lynn Bassanese
Director, Franklin D. Roosevelt
Presidential Library & Museum
History is a road map to where we’ve
been, offers new perspectives on who
we are today, and even provides some
hints as to where we may be going in
the future. By visiting a historic site,
holding a timeworn artifact, or reading
an ancient document, people can
connect with the greatest message
history has to offer: we are not alone,
but rather are part of an unbroken chain
of individuals who’ve laughed and cried,
worked and played, faced many of the
same challenges we do today, and in
doing so have left an irrevocable mark
upon our landscape and our lives.
Through understanding them, we come
to a better knowledge of ourselves.
—William P. Tatum III
Dutchess County Historian
For me, a love affair with history was an
evolution of events! In 1980, I learned that
the late Betsy Payne’s aunt had attended
Poughkeepsie’s segregated school. Since I
was an educator, this unexpected news had
special meaning. I began exploring mid1800s school minutes and plowing through
old Poughkeepsie Eagle newspapers. The
first civil rights case in Poughkeepsie was
the integration of schools in 1873. From
this beginning, I had the desire to know
more. What about early church institutions;
housing and community life; and the
employment of African Americans? Oral
history, source documents, and old
graveyards opened the door to more
stories. I have come to understand that the
more layers of Dutchess County’s AfricanAmerican life that are peeled away, the
more this history cannot be fragmented as
if it is a separate entity. It is a vital part of
Dutchess County’s rich and vibrant history.

Heritage Days:
300
YEARS OF DEMOCRACY
D
utchess county celebrates 300 years of democracy in 2013, which began with an
October 23, 1713 assembly act granting permission to hold the first local elections. Dutchess Tourism is working with the Dutchess County Heritage Days
Committee to celebrate our rich heritage all year long. Lectures by leading historians,
parades and reenactments will provide education and entertainment for all audiences. The
“Dutchess on the Move!” parade in Poughkeepsie on July 6th will be a great event for family fun, featuring vehicles ranging from horse-drawn carriages to antique cars. A Hot-Air
Balloon festival will occur on the same weekend, sponsored by the Dutchess Regional
Chamber of Commerce. History comes alive in September with a Civil War reenactment at
Bowdoin Park on September 14-15th and the Fishkill Revolutionary War weekend on
September 21-22nd. Both will feature period craft and military demonstrations, special children’s programs, and tours of historic sites. For more of our exciting, interactive signature
events, please visit our calendar at www.DutchessTourism.com

& Museum, Hyde Park. Photo: Kevin Oldenburg.
he Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum opens new and
exciting permanent museum exhibits on June 30, 2013. These exhibits will
tell the story of the Roosevelt presidency beginning in the depths of the
Great Depression and continuing through the New Deal years and World War II with
an emphasis on both Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt’s relationship with the American
people. Special interactives, immersive audio-visual theaters, and rarely seen artifacts
bring a New Deal to a New Generation. The exhibits are being installed with $6 million in private funds raised by the Roosevelt Institute.
In addition, the Roosevelt Library’s new museum experience will be more accessible
to people with disabilities and language barriers than ever before. New state-of-theart exhibits will tell the story of FDR’s heroic struggle to regain his strength and
political career after polio. Tactile exhibits will enhance the visitor experience for
children and visitors with impaired vision. The Library will expand these opportunities
to include a bilingual audio tour using current and developing technologies to bring
the story of the Roosevelts to more diverse audiences.
As more and more Americans have no personal memory of the Roosevelt Era, it is
increasingly critical that the lives and legacies of Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt be
preserved and presented to new generations. With a newly renovated building and
new museum exhibits the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, a
part of the National Archives and Records Administration, will present a New Deal for
a New Generation. Visit www.FDRLibrary.marist.edu

Dutchess County Restaurant
Guide Online
Many area restaurants are fortunate to
have CIA graduates as chefs, perfecting
their art county-wide. There are long time
traditional restaurants, funky urban bistros
and elegant dining establishments for
special occasions. See our complete
Dutchess Restaurant Guide online at
DutchessTourism.com/restaurants.
Dutchess County Farm Guide Online
One reason our restaurants are so
exceptional can be traced to the
extraordinary variety of produce yielded by
the area’s rich soil. More and more
restaurateurs are developing distinct regional
menus featuring locally grown and sourced
products. Farm markets and pick-your-own
farms that dot the countryside allow you to
bring some Dutchess County Bounty home
with you. Look for our fall Farm Fresh tours
with Metro-North! See DutchessTourism.

and farmers’ markets.

Farm Fresh
E X P E R I E N C E S I N T H E FA L L
Take any road through Dutchess, head in any direction, and eventually, you’ll pass a farm; more likely,
several. Agriculture is a driving economic force here, and a way of life. For a complete Farm Fresh experience,
come up to visit in the fall and take advantage of the many opportunities to enjoy its bounty.

MANY FAMILY-OWNED FARMS welcome you to pick-yourown produce, take home tasty souvenirs from their farm stands,

friendly farm animals. Tour and taste award-winning vintages at
our wineries, and stay for a picnic or concert.

Stock up on farm-fresh produce and artisanal
products at a farmers’ market. Many of our towns and cities
host them weekly, several year-round. Visit a specialty food
shop; pack your picnic basket with fresh cheese, jam, salsa, and
more locally-crafted delicacies such as maple syrup.
If farm-to-table eating is your passion, and you
support the Slow Food movement, you’ll appreciate a day
discovering our farm-to-table culture. Tour on your own with our
self-guided itineraries, found online, or join a group on our fall
Farm Fresh tours, a partnership with Metro-North Railroad.
We’re not pulling the wool over your eyes;
get out of the city and into the country this fall. Take a one-day
escape that’s enjoyable, reasonable, and perfect to share with
family and friends. The 2013 Farm Fresh One-Day Getaways
include visits to: a maple farm, cheese farm (creamery), distillery,
wineries, organic farm, and apple orchard. The Farm Fresh Link
Shuttle picks you up and returns you to the same train station.
The Getaway package, available through Metro-North, includes
discounted, round-trip rail fare and the shuttle. It’s available
online, at station ticket offices and ticket machines.
Fall Foliage Season
When the leaves hit their peak, there’s nothing better
than a drive in the country. We welcome “Leaf Peepers”! Our
broad-leaved trees give our foliage a spectacular color range.
Starting in mid-September, I Love New York’s Fall Foliage Color
Report is published weekly until the season ends (early November).
Each Wednesday, reports are posted on ILoveNY.com so you can
get the latest conditions. As summer greens turn into brilliant reds,
oranges and golds, take to our scenic byways and waterways, hike
and bike our trails, and visit our towns and harvest festivals. Pick
apples, choose the best pumpkin to carve, or get lost in a corn
maze. Make sure to have a warm cider donut! You’ll appreciate our
Hudson Valley landscapes; mountains, rivers and farmland still
inspire artists today! Visit DutchessTourism.com for a full calendar
of events, and places to eat, stay, and play.
