Dutchess Rev250: Revolutionaries of Western Dutchess

This month’s program features "Dutchess Rev250: Revolutionaries of Western Dutchess," presented by Dutchess County Historian Will Tatum. We resume our Rev250 real-time programming by journeying back to May 1775 for a punch list of Western Dutchess County’s leading revolutionaries—and the loyalist opposition they faced. Learn about the individuals who shaped the early days of resistance in our region as the American Revolution began to unfold.

This event is free and open to the public. RSVP is encouraged but not required. As Lasting Joy Brewery is an open venue, we cannot strictly enforce RSVPs, but letting the us know you're coming helps with planning.

The Dutchess County Historic Tavern Trail brings history and local cuisine together, while introducing the community to iconic locales. The Tavern Trail is a collaborative endeavor between the Dutchess County Department of History, local historical societies, and signature food and beverage industry partners to create an innovative program that highlights the county’s rich history. Each installment of the program is held at a different historic location and includes a brief presentation on an engaging episode of the local past.

County Historian William P. Tatum III said, “The Dutchess County Historic Tavern Trail highlights many of our iconic buildings and the history contained in our epic landscape. These programs are a fun way to explore the links between history, cuisine and local culture that make our area such a vibrant place.”
