Washington

County: Dutchess

The sweeping Township of Washington is geographically the largest in Dutchess County, located halfway between New York City to the south and Albany to the north.  Most of the township is rural in character, and scattered herds of cattle can still be seen dotting the picturesque countryside.  This panoramic area has also attracted a large number of horse farms that are dedicated to breeding thoroughbreds and show horses for events, hunting, and polo.  As the township’s focal point, the quaint Village of Millbrook is home to charming antique shops, specialty boutiques, fine restaurants, and other goods and services for residents of the village and township.
