Fishkill Township, along with smaller villages like Fishkill, Dutchess Junction, and Brickerhoff, offers a suburban area that blends business and corporate centers with residential neighborhoods. Steeped in history, Fishkill was the site of the first Congressional Congress and Revolutionary War encampments. Points of interest include a vintage church, a burial ground for Continental troops, and the Van Wyck Homestead Museum. The housing blends older properties with newer homes that include multi-family developments. A nearby state park combines with local and regional recreational facilities such as golf courses, beaches and lakes, hiking and biking trails, and winter sports areas for four season recreation.
