Located on Mill Street is one of the five iconic post offices in Dutchess County. Built on the site of the historic Beekman House of the 1700s, building of this particular post office was of keen interest to Franklin Roosevelt. Worried that the numbers of fieldstone structures, a marker of the county's Dutch heritage, are dwindling, Roosevelt proposed that the upcoming post office be built using the fieldstone. Established in 1940, after a dedication ceremony that was attended by Roosevelt and the crown prince of Denmark, the post office, backed by a glorious history was added to the US National Register of Historic Places in 1989.
