Enjoy a three nights stay, mid week only, at The Roundhouse Hotel, Beacon NY

Located above the beautiful Fishkill Creek Falls, the Roundhouse Hotel is a destination getaway for people all around the world.

The property was originally part of the Matteawan Manufacturing Company, a textile manufacturer and one of the first factories in Beacon. It later housed the H.N. Swift Machine Shop, which reportedly manufactured the first lawnmowers in the US. One of the last businesses to call the property home was the Braendly Dye Works, which operated as late as the 1970's. The rounded shape of the namesake building supposedly supported proper ventilation for the blacksmiths who worked there.

After an incredible combination of construction, restoration and design, many of the historic buildings on the property were given new life. Working with many local businesses and artisans, the owners created the new and modern world you find at The Roundhouse today: custom tables, light fixtures in the lounge and dining room, beds and desks in the guest rooms, steel fencing, custom tiles, original artwork and even their graphic design work has come from the immense talent pool you'll find right here in Beacon.

Enjoy a 3 week-night stay at the hotel, just steps from the shops on Main Street in Beacon. Value $750.

Private Tour of 1709 Madam Brett Homestead for Four People, Beacon, NY

Enjoy a private, behind the scenes tour for up to four people of the Madam Brett Homestead in Beacon NY.

Known as the oldest standing building in southern Dutchess County, the Madam Brett Homestead is a time capsule of colonial life. The home and museum are listed on the National Register of Historic Places and are part of the NYS Independence Trail. The homestead, which during the 19th century was referred to as the "Teller House", is now named for Catheryna Rombout Brett, who was the first to develop the patent by selling property. After the death of Catheryna's mother, the couple mortgaged the manor house in New York and moved to the wilderness of southern Dutchess County.

The home was built around 1709 or shortly thereafter. Roger Brett drowned in the Hudson River, leaving Catheryna a widow at age 31 with the surviving three of her four sons. The homestead is notable as the residence of this woman who as a widow organized with twenty-one men the first produce cooperative in the Hudson River highlands. The homestead was subsequently occupied by her descendants until 1954, spanning a total of seven generations.

The tour will be led by a member of the Melzingah chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution, who maintain the historic site. Madam Brett, herself, will also make a special appearance. Value $200.

Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge - Hand colored Linocut – by Debby Davis

This picturesque handcolored linocut of the Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge and the westside of Poughkeepsie, belongs in your home or office!

Meticulously created by artist Debby Davis in 1993, the artist captured the city's pre-development riverfront with her vision. Ms. Davis reveals Poughkeepsie's urban landscape in a sweeping panorama using bold lines, vibrant colors and a low altitude setting the scene for an emblematic view of the Walkway Over The Hudson. The diagonal of the bridge draws attention not only to landmarks still standing but to riverfront structures long since removed.

Debby Davis has been an artist for 70 years. She first studied at Harcum College and graduated from Pratt Institute. Debby continues to paint in her studio each day and has created many local scenes including historic Victorians in Poughkeepsie. Not only has Debby been a visual artist in her artistic career but her quilting skills have garnered her awards for her remarkable craftsmanship. Value $300.
