Dutchess County, NY
Enchanting enough to host
First Daughter Chelsea Clinton's wedding in the summer of 2010, Dutchess County is a perfect combination of quaint, scenic towns with a touch of Northeast history. Stretched along the eastern side of the Hudson River Valley, you can spend each day of the weekend in charming towns such as Rhinebeck, Red Hook, and Millbrook. With highlights such as FDR Presidential Library & Museum that takes a close look at his years in office, to the Rhinebeck Antiques Fair, one of the largest and most beloved antique markets, to the
Millbrook Winery, where you can taste wines from the vines you drove passed on the way, you'll have endless activities to fill your weekend getaway. One more thing: Rhinebeck is home to the CIA - the
Culinary Institute of America - so prepare your tummy for some good eats.
