George Washington anniversary Trolley tour - It will be a Revolutionary experience.

Take a ninety minute trolley ride with Historian Frank Goderre.  His stories will transport you back in time to when General Washington first rode into Peekskill.  Tour Revolutionary War sites in Peekskill & Cortlandt, and learn how important this area was in the General’s strategic plan to keep the British from taking the Hudson River and then all of New England.



Board the trolley in front of the The Birdsall House, 970 Main St., Peekskill NY.  Boarding begins at 3:45pm and the tour will leave promptly at 4:00 pm.  At the conclusion of the tour return to the Birdsall House for a brew (or soda) as the sun is setting behind Dunderberg Mountain, just as it was the first time that  General Washington rode into Peekskill on 11/10/1776.
