Visitors, both locally and internationally, have visited this site and have enjoyed hiking, attended events, and celebrated weddings and notable events in their lives. Children have learned a great deal from the educational programs presented at this site. The most important aspect of the Young-Morse Historic Site is its worldwide significance as the home of Samuel F. B. Morse, the inventor of the telegraph and the Morse Code. The site is made up of the Young-Morse Estate, Edgehill Estate, and Southwood Estate. In 1964, the Young-Morse Historic Site was added to the National Register of Historic Landmarks. In 2005, Scenic Hudson established an easement on the newly acquired acres on land from the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery for open space, formerly part of the Southwood Estate. The Dutchess Land Conservancy and State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation all partnered to protect the newly purchased land and established an easement on the site. The Town of Poughkeepsie Historic Preservation Commission is recommending to the Town Board that the entire maintenance and programming at the site for future generations of families to visit and enjoy the significant history Sincerely, John R.

These structures are part of the National Historic Landmark and include both the main residence and several outbuildings. Main Buildings: Italianate Mansion - The core of the present house was built in 1830, remodeled into a Tuscan villa in 1852 by architect Alexander Jackson Davis for Samuel F. B. Morse. Visitor Center: Houses art galleries, a museum shop, classrooms for educational programs and an event space.

The site's architecture and landscape reflect mid-19th century design, with the mansion and gardens serving as the centerpiece. Additional Buildings: The Young-Morse Historic Site is made up of Morse, Edgehill and Southwood Estates. Southwood Buildings: Gatehouse, Garage, Carriage House Edgehill Buildings: Graystone House- 1930s, Barn, Gatehouse both 1860s : : Historic Mansion The main house at Locust Grove is a villa in the Italianate style designed in 1850 for artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse by architect Alexander Jackson Davis. Fifty years later the house was renovated and expanded for new owners William and Martha Young. Their daughter, Annette Innis Young, eventually created the not-for-profit educational foundation that preserves the estate as a museum today. Morse had very clear ideas about what he wanted in what was to be his summer home (he and his family spent winters in New York City, in a townhouse on 22nd Street near Fifth Avenue). For inspiration, Morse recalled the elegant villas that he had visited years earlier in the Italian countryside and he sketched towers, windows, and floor plans on scraps of paper to give to his architect. Construction on the villa, sited on a dramatic bluff overlooking the Hudson River, began in 1851 and was completed the following year. Locust Grove required a large and expensive staff to maintain, however, so after Samuel Morse's death in 1872 his family spent little time at the estate and eventually rented it to William and Martha Young, a wealthy couple from Poughkeepsie. Hopeful that the property would be available for sale, the Youngs began to furnish the empty house with family heirlooms in 1895. In 1901 they finally purchased the property and immediately began to expand and modernize the house as a year-round residence for their daughter, Annette, and their son, Innis. Mr. and Mrs. Young added a new, larger dining room wing, guest bedrooms, and practical conveniences like central heat, hot and cold running water, and electric lighting. After the death of her brother Innis in 1953 Annette Young became the sole owner of the Locust Grove Estate as well as family properties in New Haven, New York City, and Ulster County. Conscious of her family's importance in the Hudson Valley, Miss Young began donating to museums the art, land, and historic houses she inherited so that they would be protected in perpetuity. She spent twenty years at this project and, upon her death in 1975, established a not-for-profit foundation to ensure that Locust Grove, her home for eighty years, together with its collections and the Young family archives would be protected as a museum and nature preserve. The estate opened to the public in 1979 and today features the Young family's 15,000-piece collection of furniture, paintings, and decorative arts just as they were used in the early years of the 20th century. Gardens Locust Grove's stately trees, rolling hills, and vistas from a bluff high above the Hudson River all combine to create a grand landscape. William and Martha Young brought a new vision to Locust Grove after acquiring the estate in 1895. They began to purchase adjoining land and built scenic carriage drives along the Hudson River. Near the house, Martha Young expanded the formal gardens. The Cutting Garden preserves her unique style and plant collection. A kitchen garden provided fresh produce for the residents of Locust Grove for over two centuries. Today, the restored kitchen garden provides a place for visitors to learn about the wide variety of : : vegetables and fruits grown on the estate over the past three centuries. In 1975 Annette Innis Young, the last member of the Young family to live at Locust Grove, created a not-for-profit foundation to preserve the estate for "the enjoyment, visitation, and enlightenment of the public." Her bequest included more than 125 acres of gardens and grounds. Since that time the museum trustees have continued to expand the estate's open space by acquiring much of the adjoining Southwood and Edgehill estates. Today Locust Grove's gardens and grounds cover nearly 200 acres. Our historic buildings, modern exhibit galleries, elegant gardens, miles of hiking trails, and exciting public programs are available to visitors year-round. Samuel Morse at Locust Grove While no furnishings survive from the Morse family's years at Locust Grove, the Visitor's Center is the home of a permanent exhibit that explores Samuel Morse's two careers, first as an artist and later as the inventor of the telegraph and Morse Code. Original works of art, including portraits, landscapes, drawings, and sculptures from all phases of his career illustrate the range of his talent. In the Telegraph Gallery, reproductions of Morse's early telegraph models introduce visitors to the electromagnetic telegraph. The exhibition continues to chronicle the development of telegraph equipment through the early 20th century and is part of Locust Grove's school field trip programs. Museum Collection Here you will find highlights from the Locust Grove collections, which include more than 15,000 pieces of fine and decorative art, collected by five generations of the Young Family. Many pieces are on view in the historic mansion; more are in storage and available to researchers. We're continually adding more highlights, so be sure to check back regularly for more updates. : Appendix #3 - Historical & Architectural Importance 1. The original Federal house was owned by John Montgomery. 2. Samuel Morse, inventor of the telegraph and Morse Code, purchased the house in 1847. Morse extended the home into an Italianate villa and lived there until his death in 1872. 3. In 1901 William H. Young bought the estate from the Morse children. The Young family lived there until 1975 when Annette bequeathed the estate to a not-for-profit corporation for the enjoyment, visitation, and enlightenment of the public. 4. The Young-Morse Historical Site is on the National Register of Historic Landmarks. 5. This site is part of Scenic Hudson's program with an easement on the entire property to conserve, protect, and sustain biodiversity in the Hudson Valley. Scenic Hudson has partnered with the Dutchess County and State Office of Parks, Recreation, & Historic Preservation (OPRHP) to protect 28 adjacent acres incorporated to the site. 6. The Dutchess Land Conservancy & OPRHP hold conservation easements on the Young-Morse estate land. 7. See additional attached documents. Building Description Locust Grove, the Samuel F. B. Morse House, was originally the name of an eighteenth-century house on the same location, owned by Robert Livingston, Jr. This property was sold to John Montgomery, who removed the old house and built a rectangular two-story frame building in 1830. In 1847, Morse purchased the house as a summer home, and used the standing structure as the nucleus for a cruciform Italianate villa, renamed Locust Grove, which the inventor completed in 1852. Morse's renovations designed with the assistance of Alexander Jackson Davis, the architect, began with the two-story additions of rooms on the north and south ends of the existing house. The room on the south end, which eventually served as his study, was three-sided and gave the southern facade of the house an octagonal shape. An octagonal, one-story veranda was constructed around this end as well, and it is decorated with cast-iron latticework. The addition on the northern end was a simple extension of the rectangular dimensions of the original house. At the same time Morse constructed a bisecting axis, running east to west through the main house. On the west side, a four-story, rectangular tower, of stuccoed brick was erected. On the east side, a porte-cochere, of the same dimensions as the tower, was constructed, with another room above, under a gable roof. The three round-headed passageways in the porte-cochere are topped with hood molds. On the eastern end of the second story of the porte-cochere there is a modified Palladian window. The other windows which average approximately one per bay, have simple frames, supported by consoles. The other exceptions to this are the round-headed windows at the fourth story of the tower, which are grouped three to a side. There is a small balcony projecting below these windows on the west facade of the tower. This balcony is repeated at the third story, however, this octagonal balcony is supported by the octagonal bays which project from the west wall of the tower at the second and first stories. The house, which contains a basement and a subbasement, is supported on stone foundations. The attic, at the third-floor level, is covered with a gable roof of slate tiles. The south end of the house however has an adjoining three-sided hip roof, while the tower has a separate hip roof. The main house has a bracketed cornice, while the tower has rafter ends protruding from the eaves. The interior of the house has remained substantially unchanged since Morse's occupancy, although the north room on the first floor has been enlarged and the wood floors have been replaced. Some of Morse's furnishings remain. The grounds of Locust Grove still consist of the approximately 108 acres which Morse purchased in 1847. Most of the land is kept as lawn, pasture, and woodland. The area in front of the house is still planted with trees, many of which are locusts. The position of the house affords broad vistas of the Hudson River and the Catskills to the west, and the Fishkill Mountains to the south. No outbuildings that date to Morse's period are extant. The stables, the barn, the gardener's cottage, the toolshed, greenhouse and other extant outbuildings all date from 1900 or later. Today the Locust Grove estate includes much of the adjoining Edgehill and Southwood estates. Originally laid out in the 1850's (about the same time that Locust Grove was rebuilt for Samuel Morse) these two estates were historically connected to Locust Grove by carriage roads that have been restored as public hiking trails. The Edgehill mansion is not part of Locust Grove today; the Gothic Revival-style mansion is divided into apartments and is visible from the North Road. The Southwood mansion was remodeled in 1908 for the Kinkead family, who also owned the Maple Grove estate, just across South Road. Elise Kinkead, the last private owner, donated a portion of the estate to Locust Grove in the 1980's. After her death in 1985, however, the mansion (which was not owned by Locust Grove) was demolished. Thanks to a number of private donors and matching grants from the State of New York, Dutchess County, the Town of Poughkeepsie and Scenic Hudson, Locust Grove was able to acquire the last 25 acres of Southwood in 2006 and reopen nearly a mile of carriage roads that had been closed to the public. A number of historic buildings are on these parcels: 6061-04-901110, Southwood Estate Parcel Two buildings, a carriage house (brick) dating from the 1850s, and a gate house (clapboard, Dutch gambrel roof), built in 1908 when the property was purchased by the Kinkead family. Photos attached of the mansion c1908, carriage house c1908, and gate house c2005. When LG purchased them in 2006, we felt it was important to preserve the few surviving buildings from a 6061-04-968038, 29 Greystone Lane Two buildings, a stone Tudor revival house built in 1935, and a barn built in the 1850s as part of the Edgehill Estate and converted into two apartments in the 1930s. The house was built for the Wadewitz family (they owned Western Printing in Poughkeepsie), designed by a Wisconsin architect. The original blueprints are in the Locust Grove archives. Photos attached of the house c1940, another in color c2010 showing the 1970 addition by architect Jeh V. Johnson (taught at Vassar, founded the National Organization of Minority Architects) for local lawyer Noel de Cordova who owned the house at the time.

Armater Executive Director Locust Grove 2683 South Road Poughkeepsie, NY 12601 Dear Ray, I am writing to register my enthusiastic support for Locust Grove's request for funds from the Dutchess County Open Space Fund and the New York State Environmental Protection Fund to purchase several adjoining parcels of open space land. As Dutchess County's population continues to expand, I believe that it is important to balance new residential and commercial development with new recreational areas. Locust Grove's plan to preserve these forested parcels on the border of the City and Town of Poughkeepsie and open them to the public by restoring several of the historic carriage roads is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Protecting the open space between Locust Grove and the Poughkeepsie Rural Cemetery will create an unbroken greenbelt with Hudson River vistas just seconds from Poughkeepsie's densely-populated core - an amazing new community resource. I also believe that acquisition is necessary to protect the historic rural setting of Locust Grove's National Historic Landmark mansion and grounds. As a tourist destination with constantly increasing attendance, Locust Grove is a key player in Dutchess County's burgeoning heritage tourism industry. These parcels will create new opportunities for a Greenway Trail extending north from Locust Grove and supports the Town, County and Greenway plans for this area. Helping Locust Grove acquire these lands will provide wonderful new resources for both local residents and tourists from out-of-town with no continuing maintenance costs to the Town, County or State. Lets all pull together to make this project happen!

Morse. Now Scenic Hudson, working with the Young-Morse Historic Site, has permanentiy protected its 149 acres of woods, meadows and other unspoiled habitats, and ensured that these natural treasures will always be available to the public for exploring nature, hiking and jogging, and admiring Hudson River views. Surrounding the 1851 Italianate villa built for Morse--declared a National Historic Landmark in 1964 and a house museum since 1979.--Locust Grove features an astonishing variety of natural features rarely found so close to suburban and commercial development. Five miles of carriage roads and trails created by Morse and the estate's last owners, the Young family, enable visitors to explore a ravine, a picturesque stream and waterfall, dramatic rock outcroppings, views of the Hudson River, a pond and sheltered river cove, several wetlands and formal gardens. Locust Grove's landscape also contributes to scenic views enjoyed by molorists crossing the Mid-Hudson Bridge, hikers at Franny Reese State Park in Ulster County and boaters on the Hudson River. Scenic Hudson acquired a conservation easement with public access on the property from the Young-Morse Historic Site, the non-profit organization that owns the land. As part of the transaction, Locust Grove will allocate a portion of the funds it received for the easement to trail and public-access maintenance. Land's habitats also a priority for protection Protecting this property keeps both people and the environment healthy. The land's diverse habitats also made it a priority for protection according to Scenic Hudson's Hudson Valley Conservation Strategy. Scenic Hudson developed this strategy to pinpoint properties whose protection will sustain biodiversity, increase resilience to climate change, secure the routes species depend on for survival and conserve working farmland. Due to the property's high potential for achieving many of these goals, the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation provided a portion of the purchase price. Additional key funding came from Scenic Hudson's Lila Acheson and DeWitt Wallace Hudson Valley Land Preservation Endowment. in 2006 Scenic Hudson partnered with Dutchess County and the state Office of Parks. Recreation and Historic Preservation (OPHP) to protect 28 acres adjacent to Locust Grove that have been incorporated into the historic site. The Dutchess Land Conservancy and OPHP hold conservation easements on that land. "The trails at Locust Grove provide outstanding opportunities to connect with nature along one of the region's busiest roads-and just three miles from the heart of downtown Poughkeepsie. Scenic Hudson is delighted to build upon Locust Grove's excellent stewardship of the site over the years and ensure that these historic grounds and important habitats will remain intact and forever available for people to enjoy," said Scenic Hudson Land Trust Executive Director Steve 7/27/26, 9:39 AM Locust Grove - Poughkeepsie, New York • NRHP #66000515 Locust Grove — Poughkeepsie, New York • NRHP #66000515 Back to Search Locust Grove Poughkeepsie, New York • Building • Listed 1966 Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, New York, is a historic building listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1966.

Gentech came in the lowest at $20,845.00 National Standby Repair was $21,800.00 HO Penn was $32,460.18 Our current contract is with National Standby. It is my recommendation to stay with National Standby Repair as they have served us well. They have been extremely fast in response times when we have had problems with the generators. We are very pleased with their overall service, maintenance, and repairs that they have performed, as they are very thorough. We have developed a great customer relationship with them. One other reason that I would also like to recommend we stay with them is, they will come out free of charge, once per generator if there is an issue for the term of the contract. The other companies do not offer that. I have also included the Water department quotes and they are as follows: Gentech was $8,075.00 National Standby Repair was $9,820.00 HO Penn was $13,812.24 Emily, please review the contracts and we would like to get on the next Town Board Agenda (not the Oct.7th meeting). Please let me know if you need anything else. Thank you! Jim Byron Jim Bynon 1 N S NATIONAL STANDBY REPAIR INC. - Since 1981 FACTORY AUTHORIZED KOHLER.
