* The [[Wappingers Falls Historic District]] is in the center of the village of [[Wappingers Falls]], and was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1984. It is roughly centered along South Avenue, West Main Street and [[Wappinger Creek]]. It includes Mesier Park and many adjacent residential neighborhoods, roughly bounded by Elm, Park, Walker, Market and McKinley streets. Much of the district was built in the wake of the industrialization of [[Wappingers Falls]] in the 19th century, and its styles represent a cross-section of that century. The east and west sides of the village are connected by an 1884 stone arch bridge over the falls that replaced earlier wooden structures.
