The Secret Language of Towns, Villages, & Cities: Red Hook & Tivoli Edition

Due to limited seating, RSVP is required. See form below.

The Tavern Trail returns to Lasting Joy Brewery in Tivoli to explore one of the most confusing aspects of local life in the Hudson Valley: Where do we actually live? The US Post Office says one thing, the tax assessor says another, and local lore is entirely different. Join Dutchess County Historian to learn about the real history behind this confusion and why there isn't a Town of Tivoli, yet there is a Town and Village of Red Hook, but Rock City is not part of either one.

This event is FREE and open to the public! The event will accept and encourage donations to its partner organization, Historic Red Hook.

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.”
