Explore the beautiful Victorian-era styled home, built in 1741 by two Dutchmen, Adolphus and Nicholas Brouwer. They settled here and built this Homestead along with several mills across the Wappingers Creek. Nicholas and his sons were active Patriots, supplying wheat, corn and more, without compensation, to Washington's Army. The Homestead was later sold to Peter Mesier, a Tory loyalist merchant from New York City. Volunteer-led tours cover the early history of the Homestead and the Village of Wappingers Falls and tell the story of Peter Mesier, his store, and the Wappingers Tea Party of 1777.
