Recent NEWS!
Duportail House has been undergoing a 'new beginning' with much needed landscaping and grounds clean-up.  In recent years, the Duportail House had fallen in to disrepair and with volunteers' help, the new Board of Directors is doing much-needed interior repairs and upgrades to the 270-yr. old stone farmhouse.  If you haven't been in a while, stop by and visit the Duportail House - the house and grounds are gorgeous.


Duportail grounds are always open to the public between the hours of 6:00AM to 6:00PM Monday to Sunday. Please be mindful of the tenants, our on-going restoration and planned events.  We welcome your dogs on to the grounds of Duportail; we just ask that you clean-up after your pet.  Thank you.
