In 1777, the colonists drafted what would be known as the New York State Constitution and established Kingston as the first state capital. All too swiftly, the British invaded and burned most of Kingston to the ground! Thankfully, some of the city’s beautiful stone structures and unique architecture remained standing, refusing to fall and lose their place in history. Inspired by these resilient buildings, many of the people of Kingston returned home and rebuilt their city.

By the 19th century, Kingston was a leader in the production of cement, bricks and bluestone, as well as a significant transportation hub, distributing essential supplies to the growing country by rail and canal. Now, well over 360 years later, Kingston is still producing speciality offerings unique to our area and sought after by national and international visitors and businesses.

Today, Kingston has transitioned from a traditional manufacturing city to a creative and vibrant community, growing in the

areas of music, arts, film, technology, urban agriculture and boutique manufacturing. More than just a producer of one distinct product, Kingston is now as rich in the diversity of its offerings as it is in its history. Visitors will enjoy the wide variety of galleries, music venues, public art exhibits and boutiques. In addition, Kingston is home to some of the greatest celebrations and festivals in the region, both on the Rondout Waterfront and in the Uptown Stockade District.

In addition to its museums and walking tours, Kingston has embraced its historic roots by finding innovative uses for many of its large warehouses and former manufacturing facilities. Buildings which once housed the makings of the country’s most basic needs have been transformed into multi-use venues and unique live/work spaces for up and coming artists. The result of the influx of artists in Kingston has been the organic growth of a thriving and sustainable economy based on small businesses and the diverse backgrounds of all who call Kingston home.

Founded in 1652, Kingston is a city steeped in history. Kingston is actually the hybrid of two communities, the towns of Wiltwyck and Rondout,

who later joined together under the banner of “Kingston.”

Kingston’s Uptown neighborhood is where visitors will find many fine examples of America’s early colonial history. The first permanent settlement was built in 1652. Governor Stuyvesant ordered the original stockade built in 1658 to protect the early settlers from local Indian attacks. Originally called Wiltwyck, Uptown Kingston is the largest remaining example of early Dutch settlement in New York State. In 1777, Uptown Kingston’s Senate House is where the first capital of New York was established, and visitors can explore many historic sites and museums that represent that era.

Uptown Kingston today is a thriv-ing neighborhood with many shops, restaurants, museums, galleries, music venues, farmers’ markets, festivals and more. Though abun-dant public parking is available, the area is best enjoyed on foot. It boasts a highly diverse range of architectural details for visitors to ex-plore, a chronology of American archi-tecture that spans four centuries: from the early Dutch and English, to Federal-ist, Georgian, Greek Revival, Victorian, Romanesque, Italianate, Neo-Classical, Art Deco and Contemporary.

2016 Tour dates: First Saturday of the Month, May 7, June 4, July 2, August 6, September 3, and October 1.Enjoy a guided walking tour of the larg-est intact early Dutch settlement in New York State and the neighborhood where New York State was born in 1777. View a treasury of centuries-old architecture as you walk the heart of the original vil-lage stockade of Kingston whose street plan was designed by Provincial-Gov-ernor Peter Stuyvesant in 1658. View a large cluster of native limestone houses built by descendants of the early set-tlers. Visit the courthouse site where the New York State Constitution was draft-

ed, and the gravesite of George Clinton, New York’s first elected governor, in the Old Dutch Church burying ground. The tour concludes with a visit to the inte-rior of the circa 1812 Fred J. Johnston House.Fee: $10 adult; $5 child under 16. Free to Friends of Historic Kingston (FHK) members.Guided Walk Tour offered on the first Saturday of the month, May through October, departing at 1 pm from the FHK Gallery, corner of Wall and Main Streets.

The Matthewis Persen House Museum and Cultural Heritage Center 74 JOHN STREET

The Persen House, named after its longest resident Matthewis Persen (1739-1819), was built in five phases from 1661 to 1922. The house has witnessed the entire history of Kingston and even pre-dates the formation of Ulster County. It was burned at least twice, saw wars and revolution and was home to doctors, tailors, grocers, druggists and innkeepers. As you walk through the Persen House you walk through time and history comes alive! A significant historical fact – the Matthewis Persen House is on the only street corner in the U.S. with a pre-Revolutionary building still located on each of the four corners. The house is open Tuesday through Friday 9am-4:30pm and Saturdays 9am-3pm from May 28 through September 3, then Saturdays only from 10am-2pm from September 10 through November 19. Admission is free.

session, New York’s first Senate, met in a simple stone house of a local merchant. Now part of a complex of five buildings, the Senate House tells the story of New York’s early government, and gives a taste of life in the Hudson Valley 200 years ago. Open mid-April thru October plus special events during and after season. (845) 338-2786. Contact Thomas.Kernan@parks.ny.gov or www.nysparks.com

The birthplace of New York State, the Ulster County Courthouse was the home to the New York State Constitutional Convention in 1777.

It was here that our first freely elected Governor, George Clinton, took the oath of office, the first official act of New York State. The current Courthouse, built in 1818, sits on the same site as the original Courthouse erected in 1683 and is the oldest property in the United States to house a public building. Within its walls noted abolitionist Sojourner Truth won the freedom of her son, Peter, becoming the first African American woman to successfully challenge a white man in a United States court. The Courthouse is open to the public Mon.-Fri. 9am-4:30pm. www.nps.gov/nr/travel/kingston/k7.htm

Volunteer Firemen’s Hall & Museum 265 FAIR STREET

Housed in the 1857 Wiltwyck Fire Station, it is a wonderful example of the evolution of a firehouse from the operation of horse-drawn equipment to the operation of late 20th century fire equipment. The Kingston Fire Department can trace its origin back to 1754 when a fire engine was ordered from England. The Wiltwyck Fire House is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. This “Little Gem” of a Museum is “child friendly” and children will receive their own fire helmet.

City Hall is a red brick building in a late Victorian architectural style dating to 1873. It sits on what had been the boundary between the villages of Wiltwyck and Rondout prior to their merger to form the City of Kingston.

Midtown is often referred to as the “heart” of Kingston. In addition to being the central connection between the Uptown and Downtown business districts, Midtown is home to the city’s essential municipal, civic and educational facilities, including the historic City Hall, the regional hospitals, the Kingston Library, the Kingston Center of SUNY Ulster, and Kingston High School, which just celebrated its centennial and launched its “Second Century Capital Plan.”

The growing Midtown Arts District includes a wide array of galleries, music venues, tech hubs, and unique boutique manufacturing businesses. Midtown features a large concentration of retired factories and warehouses, which are now being transformed into unique live/work spaces for artists and other professionals. The recently completed Lace Mill housing complex is a prime example of an adaptive reuse project that features attractive and affordable rental spaces that fit perfectly in the burgeoning collaborative community that is the Midtown Arts District.

Set with the Rondout Creek as its backdrop, this downtown neighborhood features some of the city’s most diverse and exciting events, concerts, and multicultural celebrations. Those visiting on a warm summer night will enjoy the light breeze near the water and the subtle buzz of a bustling nightlife. One can’t help but sway to the music while strolling down the promenade or enjoying a decadent dessert at one of Downtown’s fine eateries.

During the day, visitors wishing to view the Rondout Lighthouse or the beautiful Hudson River can book their rides at the Kingston Marina. The neighborhood features a wide variety of restaurants and charming antique shops, as well as a network of art galleries and museums. The Kingston Heritage Area Visitors Center can be found in the Rondout Waterfront District and provides an abundance of information on Kingston and Ulster County.

2016 Tour dates: Last Saturday of the Month: May 28, June 25, July 30, August 27, September 24, and October 29

This tour traces the rapid transformation of Kingston’s waterfront area from farmland into a thriving maritime village and Hudson River port when it became the terminus of the Delaware and Hudson Canal in 1828. The tour describes the entrepreneurs and immigrants who shaped the new village and how its fate was tied to the canal, its fortunes rising, then sinking as railroads eclipsed canals in the late nineteenth century. The walk views the rich legacy

of commercial buildings, cast-iron storefronts, homes and churches built by the “melting pot” of nationalities that immigrated to Kingston’s waterfront area during the nineteenth century, and also discusses the area’s recent renaissance. Some uphill walking is involved. Fee: $10 adult; $5 child under 16. Free to Friends of Historic Kingston (FHK) members.

Guided Walk Tour is offered on the last Saturday of the month, May-October departing at 1 PM from the Visitor Center, 20 Broadway. For information, call (845) 339-0720; www.fohk.org

Welcome Aboard the Rip Van Winkle

Spring, Summer, and FallEach season has its own personality. Spring provides new leaves and the

perfume of fruit tree blossoms.Summer begins an intensity of warm breezes and magnificent sunsets.

Feel the tension being released from your body as you enjoy a sunset’s glory on the Hudson.

The fall gathers rich colors and crisp air together in just the right combination for leaf peeping.

At night, its another worldWarm summer evenings bring together music and romance

as our vessel glides under a canopy of stars. Our summer music cruises feature a variety of

live music for the listening and dancing pleasure of our adult passengers. Our beverage service and snack bar will be available for those evenings

with friends or that special someone.
