History of Poughkeepsie:
Poughkeepsie
I live in the city of Poughkeepsie. Poughkeepsie was founded in 1683. It started as a lumber and grain milling center. There is a lot of history in Poughkeepsie. Now Poughkeepsie is well known for Vassar and Marist Colleges. My house was built in 1900 and it is now 113 years old. I live across the street from the Poughkeepsie Tennis Club, which was built in 1858. Nice places to visit are the Walkway Over the Hudson and the state parks. Poughkeepsie is a great place to visit.
