I just got around to reading the profile piece of Hyde Park, NY, in the August 4 issue of The New York Times. The article, The Exurbs, Too, Appreciate an Oasis, by Elsa Brenner, is a great look at this beautiful area in Dutchess County.

“FROM the venerable general store his grandparents opened in 1919, where you can get hunting knives, cigars, worms, khaki pants and copies of Vogue, Phil Terni has watched Dutchess County’s passing parade for most of his 68 years.

And Mr. Terni has seen Millerton prosper as an agricultural crossroads with three hotels served by three railroads, and then decline toward irrelevance as the milk processing plant shut down and the farms died. Still, none of that has prepared him for what he sees outside his door every day.”
