Top 5 Things You Wouldn’t Think To Do In Millerton, New York

Have you ever passed through or visited a small town that reminded you of a scene out of a movie? This was my exact reaction when I found this village.

Millerton, New York is located in Dutchess County.

It truly felt like something out of a Hallmark Channel movie with the friendly residents chatting with each other in front of a church on a warm and sunny day. There was a local diner, deli, plenty of shops and a trail.

My sister and I spent a few hours exploring this hidden gem within the Hudson Valley. The drive there was simply beautiful with all of the fields and scenery.

I found plenty of fun things to do and explore while there. The town was so inviting that I took a second trip back there and look forward to returning again.

Here are 5 reasons to visit this picturesque Hudson Valley Town.

Harney & Sons Fine Teas

I first found out that Harney & Sons had their own tea house a few months back. My mom brought this to my attention so we made the trip there. On site, you can choose from hundreds of different tea styles and shop in their store. My favorite from their collection is their green tea.
