The Gomez Foundation for Mill House invites you
to enjoy our first Open House & Reception on September 15, 2019
to celebrate the next 300 years of the Gomez Mill House
as we begin the next chapter in our unique story.
Luis Moses Gomez, a prominent Jewish merchant in Colonial New York,
established an early Mid-Hudson Valley commercial operation on the Site.
Afterward, the Mill House was owned by Revolutionary era patriots, gentleman farmers,
an Arts and Crafts Movement artist, a social activist, and an historic landmark advocate.
Their stories exemplify America’s promise of freedom, tolerance, and opportunity.
