How Dutch is New York? - The New Paltz Huguenot Street Tour

Welcome to Historic Huguenot Street.Located in New York State’s historic Hudson Valley with the beautiful Shawangunk Ridge nearby, Historic Huguenot - or Huguenot - Street features the most significant, intact architectural concentration of late seventeenth- and early eighteenth-century stone houses in the United States. At our ten-acre National Historic Landmark District, visitors experience over three-hundred years of history through the lens of a French Huguenot community as it evolved over time. Tours begin with an introduction to the pre-colonial Native American landscape and the religion, culture, and architecture of New Paltz’s earliest European settlers. The experience continues as guests visit fully furnished houses reflecting unique human narratives and changing tastes across the Colonial and Federal periods, through the Gilded Age, and into the early twentieth century. The tour starts at the Bevier-Elting House.
