Brace Mountain, Mountain summit in Dutchess County, New York, United States.
The summit reaches an elevation of 2,311 feet and forms part of the Taconic Mountains range near the borders of Connecticut and Massachusetts.
The mountain received its name from the Brace family, who established settlements in the surrounding region during the early colonial period.
