Keep Millerton Swimming!

Now in its final stages of revitalization, Eddie Collins Memorial Park needs lasting support. We are raising a $2 million Forever Fund, invested with Berkshire Taconic Community Foundation, to provide steady annual income for the Park. Dedicated solely to maintenance, operations, and care, this fund will ensure the Park remains a safe, vibrant gathering place for Millerton, North East, and surrounding communities for generations.

Please help the Village take care of the Park by contributing to the Park’s Endowment!
