Barrytown, New York

Barrytown is a hamlet (and census-designated place)[1] within the town of Red Hook in Dutchess County, New York, United States.

Barrytown was named in honor of President Andrew Jackson's Postmaster General, William Taylor Barry, who served in that capacity from 1829 to 1835.

Barrytown was a mission attended from St. Joseph's in Rhinecliff, by pastor James Fitzsimmons, until 1886 when Archbishop Corrigan appointed Rev.

As travelling to Barrytown proved hazardous in winter, in 1910, St. Christopher's in Red Hook was founded as a mission of Sacred Heart Parish.

Sacred Heart once stood amid the bustle of rivercommerce, but over time, the population center shifted to Red Hook.
