Built around 1741 by Adolphus and Nicholas Brower, who settled here and built this homestead along Wappingers Creek. Nicholas and his sons were active Patriots, supplying wheat, corn, and more to Washington's Army and building a shipyard along the creek from which supplies were sent to the Army at West Point.
The Wappingers Historical Society maintains the property and offers tours exploring both the Brower and Mesier families’ roles in the Revolution and the village's early settlement. Please consult their website for fees, hours, and programming.
