Historic Dobbs Ferry

The Mead House is the home of the Dobbs Ferry Historical Society. The house was a gift from Miss Clara Mead. The Society maintains the house in much the way Miss Mead did, but also uses it for the professional, climate controlled storage of priceless archives of life in the Village.

The Old Croton Aqueduct is one of the treasures of the region. It passes through Dobbs Ferry and many other communities and is regularly used by walkers, bikers and joggers. Learn more at http://www.aqueduct.org/index.html

	There was considerable skepticism over the historical accuracy of the information on the monument at left, which claimed that George Washington spent considerable time in Dobbs Ferry. However, there is little doubt that the area was extremely important during the revolution. The monument has been corrected.
	Wicker's Creek is a favorite place in Village for walking and reflecting. The Village has a conservation easement in the area.
