A celebration of the heritage of Matthew Vassar, the first brewer in Dutchess County. On Saturday September 19, 2015 the Cuneen-Hackett Arts Center will honor the memory of Matthew Vassar with our Second Annual Brew Fest. It will help raise needed funds for the preservation of this historic site and will maintain the Arts Center as a home for education and showcase for the Arts. Come and celebrate with us under the tents at 9 Vassar Street in the City of Poughkeepsie from 1:00 - 5:00 pm.
