1974 ANNUAL PILGRIMAGE Members of the Dutchess County Historical Society and their guests were invited to participate in the annual pilgrimage which was held in the Town of Stanford on June 15, 1974. The pilgrimage was under the auspices of the Town of Stanford Historical Society. The Town of Stanford was founded in 1788. Buses left the Innis Avenue parking lot of the Poughkeepsie Savings Bank at 8:00 A.M. on Saturday, June 15th, and arrived at the Stanford Grange Hall at approximately 9 A.M. At this point those who drove their own cars to Stanfordville were taken aboard the buses. The Grange Hall is located in the Village of Stanfordville on the west side of Route 82. Itinerary for trip: Bangall Road to Amenia - Federal Square - return to Bangall by Hunn's Lake - then to 82A to Stissing (Stissing Junction). Continue to Shelby Hill Road across Bull's Head to Market Lane. Return to Grange Hall for lunch. After lunch - Old Railroad Station - inspect old mill then on to Grist Mill Lane - Route 82 - past Stanford Library, then to Sister's Hill Road. Last stop Mrs. Roberts (stop on the underground R.R.). The assessment per person was $2.00 for which each person received transportation, and coffee and dessert during the lunch period, each person having brought his own lunch. Our Society owes many thanks to the Town of Stanford Historical Society for its great work in arranging an itinerary and providing knowledgeable guides for each bus and on several sites. We were lucky in the weather and the sun smiled on us as warmly as the people of Stanford. There follows a map and a list of stops in order of the trip as planned by the Stanford Society. It was prepared as notes for a bus guide who kindly let me have her copy.
