Dating from 1745, the Klose’s farm reflects the history of farming in Red Hook. Owned and operated by the Klose family since 1943, its principal crop today is hay. The Kloses were among the earliest supporters of the Hudson Valley Chamber Music Circle. Indeed, Virginia Klose, Christopher Klose’s mother, served as the first Membership Chair and appears above with Eleanor Roosevelt, who was a loyal HVCMC subscriber for many years. Below is a picture of HVCMC’s founders, Helen Hoyt (far left) and Helen Hull (far right).
