In Tivoli Bays, ticks, poison ivy, and deer flies are all out ! Be careful !
Going along with the Sesquicentennial, Deputy Mayor Majer added a “this moment in 1872” portion. She spoke of an election taking place in the upstairs of Santa Fe years ago. The Village was voted to become incorporated, and 3 years later the Village Attorney had to register the Village, and 20 years later, it was submitted to the Dutchess County Clerk. She also spoke about how the phrase “Tivoli – winging it since 1895” came into play, and how, in the beginning, Frank Ormsby was Village Clerk.. The Deputy Mayor made note that there was a President of the Borad of Trustees; a road tax was collected to improve roadsides; Jacob Feroe was also the Clerk of the Village; and at one time there was a Constable of the Village, who actually resigned only a week following his appointment.
Enjoy nature; it’s good for you!

Mayor Griffith thanked everyone who attended and participated in the Village’s stormwater infrastructure meeting on Tuesday, July 19. Tighe & Bond will be conducting a stormwater infrastructure project out in the field. Along with this, there will be a survey for people to fill out. Please take the survey, there is a link to it on the website. The Board wants to understand what’s happening with storm water throughout the Village; your participation will give some answers. The old and undersized catch basins, pipes, and swales will need some work. Feel free to upload photos and videos, and let us know what is happening on your property. Tighe and Bond will then collect all of the information, be out in the field, and will present their conclusions at a later date.
Sesquicentennial was an absolute success!!! Trish Tieger and 30+ committee members did a wonderful job. Mayor Griffith thanked Tivoli’s DPW for all of their hard work, they did so much to contribute to the event. Thanks also went to the Tivoli Fire Department, the American Legion and the Masonic Lodge for their deep involvement in making this a success. Country Cadillac was a hit, and many thanks to Legion Fireworks for a phenomenal display. The Block Party on North Road was a lot of fun for so many, and we thank the residents of North Road for their patience. Many thanks to our donors!!! As an extension of the event, there will be a 5K Run in September, as well as some theater in the fall. Between July and August, there will be a collection of Tivoli art at the Tivoli Art Gallery; let’s party like it’s 1872!!!
Trustee Ezrati commented that she thought the parade was in tune with what Tivoli is. She feels as though it was an appropriate event, as the pandemic is not over; and the outdoor events were perfect. We all look forward to the celebration when the Village hits its 175 years.
