We were thrilled to welcome a guest historian on Saturday, October 18th, 2025. Dillon Streifeneder, PhD is a historian of colonial America and the early American republic. He shared his research on the Revolutionary government in Dutchess County and the impact of the Revolution on the home front.

The event took place at Town Hall, located within Tymor Park.

The program is made possible thanks to funding from the Dutchess County Government, part of their Rev250 support of local historical societies to share information about the American Revolution in anticipation of its 250th anniversary.
