Walking down Main Street in Poughkeepsie you see a multitude of buildings, but one building, tore out of a beautiful 1868 theater, that stands out amongst the rest. Originally the Collingwood Opera House, the Bardavon has been home to a variety of events, and for the last 30 decades, they’ve been educating those that want to know more. The classic outdoor structure beautifully matches its interior, as though it was straight out of a movie.
