The Stissing Center, Pine Plains
n Dutchess, we never miss a chance to celebrate creativity, appreciate artistry and entertain our minds. The Wassaic Project in the hamlet of Wassaic
presents contemporary art inside the renovated, seven-story Maxon Mills grain elevator and on the grounds. Once per month, the project’s artists- in-residence open their studios to
the public. Watch the MET Opera or Bolshoi ballet live-streamed or catch independent films on the big screen at The Moviehouse in Millerton; during the warm season, treat the family
to a first-run double feature at Four Brothers Drive-In Theatre in Amenia, which is open seven nights a week.
Soak in nature’s beauty at Innisfree Garden, a 150-acre public garden that features streams, waterfalls, terraces and native plants and was influenced by Chinese and Japanese landscape design. Recognized as
one of the “world’s 10 best gardens,” this Millbrook gem is perfect for a meditative stroll or an al fresco lunch in the designated picnic area. While
in Millbrook, take the kids to Trevor Zoo, the only zoo in the U.S. located on a high school campus. Tour the Wethersfield Estate & Gardens in Amenia, the epitome of a country gentleman’s estate. Open seasonally, the 1,000 acres of beautiful rolling hills include a Georgian-style colonial brick residence and a gorgeous formal
