✅ Support Will via Patreon:
✅ Tip Jar: via PayPal to: this video we travel south along the Hudson River in New York to visit four castles. They are Wings Castle, Bannerman Castle, Osborn Castle and Lyndhurst Mansion. Some interesting factoids about these castles: Wings Castle was built by a couple over the course of 50 years. Bannerman Castle was actually a warehouse for munitions and blew up! Osborn Castle is purportedly the inspiriation for a castle in the Wizard of OZ. Hence the OS-born. And Lyndhurst Mansion was made fun of when it was first built by Mayor William Paulding. It was referred to as Paulding’s Folly.

48 Hours In Dutchess County, New York State Road Trip, USA
Dutchess County, New York.,
Our USA vacation and we are exploring New York State.
For the first time, we headed out of New York City and followed the Hudson River up to Dutchess County, New York.
We drove from JFK to Dutchess county which was a simple one and half to two hour drive north. Although it was cloudy it stayed dry and we missed the intense heat which affected the US open tennis a few days before our visit.
Our first stop was at the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome which was holding their weekly airshow before we headed off to try some bourbon.
Dutchess County has some good wine and we did visit a couple of the vineyards - Millbrook vineyard and Clinton vineyard. As well as good wine the food was pretty good too.
There is a lot of US history around the Hudson Valley and in Dutchess County, it was the home of President Franklin D. Roosevelt. We visited Staatsburgh State Historic Site and the Mills mansion, which was the Gilded Age country home of Ogden Mills and Ruth Livingston Mills.
We stayed in the Red Hook Country Inn and the historic Old Rhinebeck Inn which are both very different to the bland corporate style hotels.
We spent 48 hours in Dutchess County and only had a brief taste of what there is to do in the county but there is far more to see and do. It is definitely worth a trip out of New York, just follow that river north.
What we did in Dutchess County.
0:25 The Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome, airshow.
1:55 Bourbon tasting at Taconic Distillery.
2:45 The Red Hook Country Inn, where we stayed Day One.
3:10 Red Hook, Sunday morning.
