This is Dylan’s Wine Cellar in Peekskill, NY and in front of it is the stuff of a local legend. It seems that L. Frank Baum spent a couple of (apparently quite unhappy) years at the Peekskill Military Academy. A road ran from the waterfront to the academy and on arriving (either by train or boat, opinions vary) Baum is said to have asked for directions. As the road had fairly distinctively colored bricks he was told to “follow the yellow brick road”. This small patch, now a parking lot, is all that remains. L. Frank Baum was, of course, the author of “The Wizard of Oz”. Is the story true? Some think so. Others don’t and apparently there are a number of other candidates for “the yellow brick road”. However, the Peekskill Town Historian, John Curren clearly feels it’s true, but then he would wouldn’t he.
