The Winnakee Land Trust Barn Tour is a uniquely Hudson Valley event and beloved fall activity. History buffs, families, architecture aficionados and those who treasure our rural character are all invited to experience an up-close view of some of the region’s most beautiful private and public spaces.

Tour will visit historic properties throughout northern Dutchess County. A mapped guide booklet details the self-guided stops on the tour and will be emailed to participants prior to the event and available at registration. Docents will be on-hand outside each barn to provide additional information and answer questions. The tour includes many educational and interactive activities along the way.

Immediately following the tour will be a reception at a historic barn located at a private home in Red Hook. The party will feature live music, farm fresh foods, local beer and wine.
