Aaron Stockholm (1756-1825) of Bushwick, Long Island moved to Dutchess County before the close of the Revolutionary War. He married and settled in Hopewell where he operated a mill on the Fishkill Creek, owned a general store, and a blacksmith and wagonmaker shop. In 1817 he built what we now call the “Aaron Stockholm House” for his son Andrew Stockholm.

The house has been completely restored with five guestrooms in the main house and three private apartments in the converted carriage barn located across the driveway from the main house.

In the spring and summer the formal gardens, screened in porch and beautifully landscaped five acres are yours to roam. In fall and winter, the wood sitting room with fireplace is a cozy place to relax with a good book and enjoy afternoon tea.

Please no pets, as you will be welcomed by Orvis (resident Labrador) and Lady (visiting Cocker Spaniel) and last but not least Mac (resident cat).
