Celebrate Pathways through History

Hello New Windsor. My three year old son Anthony is a real character. Whenever I am driving and the kids are in the car he is constantly telling me how to drive from the backseat.

He also is the kind of mischievous little boy that you always have to keep your eyes on. And if he is too quiet you know something is going on. The other day Anthony’s twin sister Gabriella came running into the kitchen and told my wife “mommy we have a big problem.” My wife asked her what the problem was and she responded that Anthony was washing her phone in the bathroom!” When my wife went into the bathroom Anthony had her cell phone running under water and Gabriella said “see Mommy I told you we had a big problem.” And Anthony responded “there is no problem here it was dirty I just cleaned it for you! Luckily her phone wasn’t damaged.

On Saturday, June 15 The Edmonston House will be participating with NYS’s “Pathways Through History” weekend. The house will be open for tours from 1pm – 4pm. There will be 18th century blacksmith, carpentry and spinning demonstrations.

The house was built by William Edmonston (a blacksmith) in 1755 and served as headquarters for Major General Gates and St. Clair during the American Revolution. It also headquartered the medical staff and medical stores for the New Windsor Cantonment.

The Historic Edmonston House is located at 1042 Route 94 in Vail’s Gate.
