Up on Preston Mountain
The Story of an American Ghost Town By John & Richard Polhemus.
Preston Mountain lies on the New York-Connecticut border partly in the town of Amenia, in Dutchess County. The last resident of Preston Mountain died in 1924, and the old community disappeared. Old stone walls, woods roads and cellar holes are all that remain of this rural subsistence farming community that was first settled in 1766 by Martin Preston and his family. This is a history of the town he created.
