Anchored by the Village of Rhinebeck (home to the Beekman Arms — the oldest continuously operating inn in America, 1766), Red Hook, Tivoli, Bard College (in Annandale-on-Hudson, just over the Columbia County line), the Montgomery Place estate, and Wilderstein. The region also includes Milan, Clinton, and Salt Point.
