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.
