Points of Interest

Putnam County, located about 60 miles north of New York City in the heart of the picturesque Hudson Valley, is an area rich in colonial history, suburban beauty, and modern conveniences.

Putnam County, located in southeastern New York State, is bounded by Connecticut to the east, Westchester County to the south, and Dutchess County to the north.

Before 1812, the area known as Putnam County was part of the much larger Dutchess County to the north. Orginally purchased by Dutch settlers from the Indians in the late 1600's the land was later sold to the wealthy Philipse family, and in 1812 the 235 square mile piece named for Revolutionary War General Israel Putnam was declared an independent county by the New York State Legislature.

The price of liberty ran high in the lower Hudson Valley during a war that bought freedom with blood.

It began with the arrival of the Union Jack fluttering atop a massive fleet of British ships sailing into New York Harbor in July 1776. It ended, after seven years of hard fighting, when the forces of the Crown went home in defeat.
