The Niagara Steam Fire Engine firehouse, Poughkeepsie, NY. The engine company that became Niagara was organized in 1810 but did not start going by that name until 1847. There is a decorated facade erected on the roof welcoming home the 150th Regiment NYSV. The names of Grant, Sherman, and Sheridan are included on the facade. There is an incredible painted sign on the front wall of the firehouse with the company name, a flag, “Spirit of ’76,” etc. The firemen and civilians are posed outside with a shiny, steam fire engine.

Washington Hollow Fair. The Dutchess County Agricultural Society was organized in 1841 at Washington Hollow. The first Dutchess County Fair was held there on the first Wednesday and Thursday of October 1842. Total prizes awarded for livestock, fruit and vegetables at this fair amounted to $294.00. In 1843 the fair was held in Poughkeepsie, in 1844 in Washington Hollow and then alternated between Poughkeepsie and Washington Hollow until 1852, when Washington Hollow was chosen as the permanent site of the Dutchess County Fair. Washington Hollow is one of the three hamlets that make up the Town of Pleasant Valley, NY. Originally called Pittsbury, it was later renamed after George Washington who passed through and camped there during the American Revolution.
