About This Event

Springside is a National Historic Landmark, located in the City of Poughkeepsie. It includes 20 acres of walking trails through an old-growth forest and landscaping originally designed by local landscape architect Andrew Jackson Downing. This was the home of Matthew Vassar in his final years, and today it serves as a beautiful park for all of us to enjoy. Join Historian Shannon Butler as we cover the history of Springside and explore the site remotely to see what once was and what remains. Registration required.
