May 4, 2008 Historic Moment

Did you know.... The early days of the 20th century were witness to a unique event in our history. The October 1901 Poughkeepsie Eagle states, "Seldom is a Church building after a service of 60 years in one community taken down and rebuilt in another locality. This has transpired in the removal of the Ellesdie Chapel from its site north of New Hamburg to new Hackansack...." In 1997, that chapel was returned to its current place in Bowdoin Park on Sheafe Road in Wappingers Falls.
