Kingston, New York was the state’s first capital in 1777. That same year, in the Battles of Saratoga, it was burned to the ground. By the early 19th century, the discovery of natural cement in the region, and accessibility by rail-line and canals led the small town to thrive.
Today, this history is preserved in three separate historic districts.
Examples of each American architectural period are preserved in the Dutch colonial, Federal, Greek revival, Victorian, Italiante and Art Deco structures. Tour the homes, ride an antique trolley through the historic district, visit the museums and art galleries, or cruise the Hudson River all from Kingston.
