About Ossining, New York

Ossining is a town located along the Hudson River in Westchester County, New York. In 1685, Frederick Philipse bought the area which presently constitutes the Town of Ossining from the Sint Sinck, a Munsee-speaking Lenape people. His Manor extended from Spuyten Duyvil Creek on the border between present-day Manhattan and the Bronx to the Croton River. Don Draper, the primary protagonist of Mad Men, lives with his family in Ossining. (Wikipedia)
