Mandeville's Corner

A general store was once owned and operated on this corner site by Cornelius Mandeville during Revolutionary War days. A relative, Henry Mandeville, operated a hotel and tavern a few doors down on Main Street that was frequented by Continental Army officers when Peekskill was the Hudson Valley command headquarters in 1776 and 1777. The Mandevilles were a patriotic family, with 16 members serving with Continental forces during the War for Independence.
