Guest Lecture:
Dillon Streifender, PhD
October 18, 2025 at 3pm

Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 18th at 3pm!

We’re excited to share that we will host a guest historian on Saturday, October 18th. Dillon Streifeneder, PhD is a historian of colonial America and the early American republic. He’ll be sharing his research on the Revolutionary government in Dutchess County and the impact of the Revolution on the home front.

The event will take place at Town Hall, located within lovely 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.
