Revolutionary Cider Celebration

As part of Dutchess County's ongoing Rev250 celebration — which commemorates the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776 — Fishkill Farms in Hopewell Junction will host a Revolutionary Cider Celebration!

Celebrate the start of summer in the orchards at Fishkill Farms, makers of Treasury Cider. It will be a day filled with Revolutionary War and Colonial-era history, hayrides and farm experiences, and, of course, apple cider! 

Enjoy Orchard Talk Wagon Rides with Josh Morgenthau, Owner and Operator of Fishkill Farms; a Colonial-era Food and Beverage Talk; live Americana music; and tales of Revolutionary Dutchess County told by Jonathan Kruk, the Hudson Valley's master storyteller.

You can pick your own fruit, as Fishkill Farms expects to have a variety of fruits in-season (subject to change). Reservations are required for pick-your-own; click here to make reservations.

Pose for photos with Destination Dutchess' very own "Commander in Cheers" and listen to stories of Dutchess County's revolutionary heroics as told by a pint-sized, augmented reality version of George Washington — also known as "Tiny George."
