1741 Mesier Homestead Historic Site in Wappingers Open for Guided Tours

The 1741 Mesier Homestead in Wappingers Falls is open for tours on Sunday, April 16, 2023. Guided tours are led by volunteers from the Wappingers Historical Society. Tours will be offered at 1:00pm, 2:00pm and 3:00pm. Advanced ticket purchase is highly recommended due to limited tour size. Tickets can be purchased on our website. Walk-ins will be accommodated if space is available. The building is heated/air conditioned both upstairs and downstairs.

Visitors will learn about the early history of the Mesier Homestead, beginning in 1741 when the Brower family settled here, built the first stone house in the village and developed mills along the Wappingers Creek. Discover the story of Peter Mesier, a Tory loyalist, his store and the Wappingers Tea Party of 1777. Explore the Victorian Era-styled rooms of the Homestead and their displays of local antiquities, and see a portion of our collection of Native American artifacts.

The Homestead is located at 2 Spring Street Wappingers Falls. Tickets are $10 for adults, $7 for seniors, $5 for children age 7-18. Under 7 free.
