Eastchester, New York is located in Westcester county and tucked within it are two villages, Bronxville and Tuckahoe. Established in 1664, it was a Puritan community and home to famous reformer preacher Anne Hutchinson to whom a State House monument was erected in memory.

The area was neutral during the Revolutionary War with no major battles within its territories but was fought over nearly constantly for 13 years. Its railroad was built in the 1840s and led to the rise of urban development. Its rich past remains fascinating for visitors and residents to this day with historical sites open to the public, such as St. Paul’s Church built in the 1700s, the Marble Schoolhouse, and the Thomas Paine Cottage Museum, home to the author of the pamphlet Common Sense.
