Historic Homes and Landmarks Tour in Tappan - Crossroads of Rockland History
On the September, 2025 episode of "Crossroads of Rockland History" host Clare Sheridan will welcome County Historian Craig Long and two members of the Tappantown Historical Society: Carol LaValle and Larry Vail. They will all be on hand to discuss the Historic Homes & Landmark Tour that will take place in Tappan on October 4, 2025.
In 1965, the Orangetown Town Board adopted the map outlining the Tappan Historic Area. The tour will be a commemoration of this important milestone.
The HSRC will present this Historic Homes & Landmarks Tour of Tappan in partnership with the Tappantown Historical Society. It will be a self-guided walking tour on which a number of houses and other significant buildings within the Tappan Historic Area will be open to the public. The tour both promotes this Orangetown community and its historic importance to Rockland County and will announce events celebrating the 250th anniversary in 2026 of the signing of the Declaration of Independence.
