Chappaqua is a “hamlet” that is part of the town of New Castle, which dates to the year 1791 when it split from the neighboring city of North Castle. The entire community, which also includes the hamlet of Millwood, has a population of approximately 16,500 residents and is located in Westchester County in the beautiful Hudson Valley region of the state. Chappaqua is primarily a residential, family-oriented community that contains a lot of open space and gives the feeling of living in the country. It is home to the Horace Greeley House, which contains the New Castle Historical Society with period furnishings, a period garden, gift shop and rotating exhibits on the local history. The Hudson River Valley is full of historical landmarks, legends and lore. You’ll find luxurious accommodations, fine restaurants, and breathtaking scenery and picnic spots along the Hudson River, entertaining attractions and antique shopping. The Hudson Valley is also home to the “Legend of Sleepy Hollow,” the historic Kykuit Rockefeller Estate, Washington Irving’s Sunnyside and Philipsburg Manor, which is an 18th century farm and mill. The Rockefeller State Park Preserve near Chappaqua offers a variety of habitats, including a lake, wetlands, woodlands and fields. The park is a great place for hiking, picnicking, horseback riding, cross-country skiing, birdwatching, fishing and photography.
