Rhinebeck is one of America’s most beautiful towns.
The earlist settlers were the Sepasco Indians. The vitality of the Hudson River sustained many tribes here and along the Rondout. The Dutch came next and some Palatine Germans were settled through the benevolance of Queen Anne. This was at Kipsbergen and Germantown.
Over the last three hundred years this beautiful area has been husbanded and loved by generations of diverse people. We are the current stewards of the natural beauty and civilized community life. As the community evolves we can share our opinions and knowledge with each other. And we can make Rhinebeck an even more wonderful place to live and raise our families and retire.

Hi I would like the people who run this site to please contact me.
I am hoping you will post information about the Rhinbeck summer Swim Team. It is a great program and not publicized enough by the town.
