Get ready to celebrate America's 250th birthday! Our new map explores 20 places - and tells 20 stories - that illustrate the role that Beacon and its adjacent areas played in America’s beginning. Visit us at the Beacon Historical Society (61 Leonard Street, Thursdays 10-noon and Saturdays 1-3 p.m.) to receive your free copy and learn more about Beacon’s role in the American Revolution. This project was paid for in part by Dutchess County.
