WALKWAY OVER THE HUDSON
40 minutes from our Caldwell House Bed and Breakfast you can walk or bike across one of the great rivers of the world .Wow! New concrete panels replaced railroad ties, redesigned railings, modern digital lighting and an elevator have made an 1880 railroad bridge into one of the great parks in America. It is bold and exciting. Connecting the Town of Lloyd in the west and Poughkeepsie in Dutchess County in the east for over a mile, the bridge once carried 3,500 train cars a day. Now you can walk and bike across without worrying if you have to step aside for the train. You must see and experience this. www.walkway.org.

FALL COLORS
LEAF PEEPING
One of the great aspects of the Hudson Valley is the beautiful Fall colors. Just look at our home page and see the Caldwell House wrapped in blanket of maple leaves. The trees are turning now and we have several weeks before the peek and a week or two more before they are all gone. Guests save money by staying weekdays at the Caldwell House, when rates are much lower.
