 Antalek & Moore Insurance Agency
The agents at Antalek & Moore are remembering the fallen this Memorial Day Weekend, and remembering Beacon's contribution to the Revolutionary War. Beacon’s history spans all the way back to 1683, when the land for the future city was purchased by two merchant fur traders from New York City. With its proximity to the river as well as Fishkill Creek, mills became important to the burgeoning city, with wheat and flour becoming chief products for the area. Due to the success, Fishkill Landing developed into a thriving river port, with over two dozen vessels operating out of the harbor.
During the Revolutionary War, Beacon became an important manufacturing and communication center. Fires were lit atop Beacon Mountain to alert the Continental Army about the movements of British troops, helping America to win the war. It was from these beacon fires that the city took its name.
Antalek & Moore is located at 340 Main St., near Beacon Natural Market. Stop in, or get in touch by phone: (845) 245-6292.
