27. Turn right on Church Lane then sharp right on Depot Lane past the former Haight Mill operated by Ben Wheeler. This is now being renovated for living quarters. 28. Thence to former Railroad Station which is being remodelled by Walter Yovaish. Dismount here. 29. Opposite is the former Paper Mill. Mr. and Mrs. Sam Robinson have invited us to see the interior and Mr. Robinson will tell us the history of the building. 30. Then up Bulls Head Road to Grist Mill Lane. Turn left. First house on right belongs to Paul Gardiner. This is a very ancient house which Paul is restoring but he does not feel that the interior should be shown now. 31. Pass the home of James Cunningham, former home of Herbert Kellar, Justice of the Peace. Perry Van Benschoten lived there previously. His son Chester Van Benschoten is celebrating his 50th wedding anniversary here in Stanfordville today. 32. Next on right is the home of Mrs. Ruth Walling. Her house was the main house of a farm and grist mill complex built over 200 years ago. But the Mill burned and the dam was washed away in a hurricane so Grist Mill Lane is purely residential now. 33. In the early 1800's Daniel Lawrence had a Print Shop on this road. Anthony Collins, who has a Book Shop in Bangall now has several Daniel Lawrence books dated from 1803 to 1810. 34. Proceed to Route 82 and turn left. Return to Grange to pick up cars. Leave Stanfordville via Route 82, which meets Route 44 at Washington Hollow - just twelve miles from Poughkeepsie. 35. The last house in the Town of Stanford, owned by Mrs. Ida Rogers, is an old Colonial on the left. This was part of the route for slaves on their way to Canada after the Civil War.
