‘Dine Out for History’ kicks off at the historic Millerton Inn

MILLERTON — The annual Dine Out for History series to benefit the North East Historical Society began on Sunday, Jan. 26, at the Millerton Inn.

In 2015, owner and local resident Peter Stefanopoulos worked with his daughter Eleni to restore the property which dates back to the 1860s. Once a Victorian home, the Stefanopoulos’s wanted to transform the structure into a property both community members and visitors could enjoy while retaining its Victorian charm. The renovation took about two years to complete. Through their efforts, the property was restored and repurposed as a space to be enjoyed by many.

The Millerton Inn now houses an 11-room boutique hotel, a new American-Mediterranean restaurant and a tap room. Its central location in both the Hudson Valley and in Millerton itself allows the community to explore and discover all the building has to offer with its rich history. Through the boutique hotel, guests can enjoy local hospitality as well as the charm of the neighborhood. As part of its local focus and pride in being part of a farming community, the Millerton Inn uses local ingredients to create seasonal menus. Peter Stefanopoulos even makes his own feta, chevre and The Millerton Inn’s renowned Greek yogurt at their creamery.

The main dish menu for The Millerton Inn includes Saffron orange chicken, the Millerton Inn Burger, pistachio and honey crusted pork chops, almond crusted salmon, tarragon shrimp risotto, a daily dish and more. Additionally, they offer plant-based options as well as brunch, lunch and dessert.

Ten percent of the profits from Dine Out for History will be donated to the North East Historical Society to aid their content creation, research and the ongoing digitization of collections.
