DutchessHistory

Chronicling the treasures of our 300+ year-old county ¤ Dutchess County- founded Nov 1, 1683

I dig reading old public-domain books from the 19th/18th centuries.

So I made a little search tool *specifically* for that

You type a query, it finds you one book that matches it -- and presents it for instant reading

@WhitneyMartinko @kathryn_lasdow @Suffolk_U 20 years ago seems far too long.

@nicolebelolan I don't know how anyone could say good bye to that face!

[DutchessHistory @DutchessHistory]

@nicolebelolan So what are the chances of Baby Yukon joining the family permanently?

[DutchessHistory @DutchessHistory]

@nicolebelolan @DrLeonJ That baby is both gorgeous and adorable!

Thanks to the Maybrook Railroad Historical Society and @NYHeritage for the image above. #railroadhistory

[DutchessHistory @DutchessHistory]

Our mistake! May 8, 1974: a Day that will Live in Infamy. On our fact sheet submitted to @cidiot.hv, we noted the catastrophic Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge Fire as occurring in 1973. However, as Daniel Clark correctly recalled, the fire occurred in 1974. #DutchessHistory

[DutchessHistory @DutchessHistory]

Our apologies for the error, though the silver lining is that May 8th is now on the permanent remembrance calendar. Do you have other events that you think should be on that calendar? If so, please share those ideas in the comments section below.
