On October 31, 2019, the Gomez Foundation for Mill House was awarded a $3,500 check from the Town of Newburgh for tourism. These funds were originally granted to the Town of Newburgh from Orange County Tourism to increase awareness of tourist destinations within our Town. The Town of Newburgh Town Board voted unanimously to award this check to the Gomez Foundation for Mill House. The Gomez Mill House is well-deserving of these funds. Located at 11 Mill House Road in Marlboro, New York, the Gomez Mill House is the oldest Jewish dwelling in North America. In 1716, Jewish pioneer merchant Luis Moses Gomez built the Gomez Mill House to conduct trade and extend his enterprise from New York City to the Mid-Hudson Valley. As an international tourist destination, the Gomez House is frequented by visitors from countries such as England, Sweden, Turkey, China, and Japan. It is listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a significant regional museum. Through tours and programs, the Gomez Mill House educates the public about the former Mill House owners’ contributions to the multi-cultural history of the Hudson Valley and American history as a whole; and, highlight the importance of preserving this historic site. Town of Newburgh Supervisor Gil Piaquadio, Deputy Supervisor & Councilman Scott Manley, and Councilman James Presutti are pleased to present this Orange County Tourism Grant to the Gomez Foundation for the Mill House. They encourage everyone to visit this historic site. Supervisor Piaquadio stated that, “We have a gem of a historic site in the form of the Gomez Mill House here in our Town, and I want to thank all who maintain and display this site for public view.” # # # .
