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. After the death of Catheryna's mother, the couple mortgaged their manor house in New York and moved to the wilderness of southern Dutchess County. The home was built around 1709 or shortly thereafter.
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. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madam_Brett_Homestead
