to get started.

Visitors enjoy live stage productions, murder mysteries and comedies at Clove Creek Dinner Theater, returning for new shows, again and again. Enjoy a three-course meal and take in a show, with nearby hotel packages for the full experience.

An experience at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library & Museum will give visitors insight on the man whose dynamic role and countless contributions to American history have profound relevance to the challenges of today. Explore the grounds of the Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site* and visit the rose garden – the President and First Lady’s final resting place. Get a glimpse into the setting that helped shape the heart and mind of America’s 32nd president.

Many of the world’s culinary icons were trained at The Culinary Institute of America – including Grant Achatz, Anthony Bourdain, and Cat Cora – an institution with an industry-wide reputation for excellence. The CIA’s scenic Hudson Valley campus offers tours given by current students, and groups can reserve seating for a meal at one of the four award-winning restaurants to enjoy a dining experience in a real-world, live-action classroom.

*The grounds are open but the FDR home has been closed for renovations. The museum and library remain open. Check website for details.

Meetings & Conferences

We can also assist in planning any mid-sized conference, off-site meeting, corporate outing or special event. Dutchess County’s convenient location – mid-way between New York City and Albany – makes it the perfect destination for business events, with easy access to major highways, train stations, and public and private air service.

We’ll start by finding the perfect Hudson River Valley meeting space, then followthrough by facilitating recreational activities, coordinating contact with local officials, and other ancillary support. Below are just two options among the many varied venues available for meetings and conferences in Dutchess. Visit dutchesstourism.com/meetings-conferences to get started.

The Poughkeepsie Grand Hotel & Conference Center offers comprehensive packages for meetings of all types and sizes. With 15,000 square feet of flexible conference space and the adjoining Majed J. Nesheiwat Convention Center, The Grand can accommodate conferences of up to 400 attendees. Their staff will provide professional, courteous service during the planning stages, the day-of and following the event.

With over 45 acres and 4,000 square feet of meeting and event space, there are a lot of choices when planning a meeting or conference at Troutbeck in Amenia. The re-envisioned and meticulously updated property is again what it was to so many before us – a respite for restoration and community – carrying forward its 250-year legacy of hospitality.
