Plan to see the Old Rhinebeck Aerodrome while visiting the Hudson Valley. Just a few minutes drive from the inn, the Aerodrome presents antique aeroplanes in their natural setting and recaptures the excitement of old-time flying from the period of 1900 to 1940. Open daily from 10 am to 5 pm May 15 through Oct. 31. Air shows are held every weekend from mid-June through mid-October.

From its opening weekend in May and on into October, The Dutchess County Fairgrounds hosts an assortment of events from car shows to the fair itself. Just 2 blocks from the inn, the Fairgrounds features seasonal juried craft and antique shows, along with festivals and swap meets.

Tennis, anyone? Just down the road, Rhinebeck offers a stunning tennis facility. Outdoor and indoor courts available and beautiful grounds to stroll through. Located near the Center for Performing Arts, this is a great way to get in some exercise while on vacation.
