Old Stone House Day

Historic Huguenot Street is hosting a special revival of Stone House Day, a formerly annual tradition, in partnership with the Town of New Paltz. On Saturday, September 8, from 11 AM to 4 PM, the National Historic Landmark District will host Old New Paltz Stone House Day to celebrate the 340th anniversary of the settling of New Paltz by twelve French Huguenots in 1678.

This Old New Paltz Stone House Day will have a stronger focus on the diversity of Hudson Valley history by highlighting the many cultures that impacted New Paltz and Ulster County including African, Dutch, English, Esopus Munsee, and French. The Reformed Church of New Paltz will once again be a partner in this event.

We are seeking volunteers to assist with welcome/ticket sales, historic house interpretation, security, and parking. Volunteers will get free t-shirts and free admission to the half of the event that they are not working. (of course, they are more than welcome to work the entire event if they’d like.)

Wednesday, 8/29 @ SUB 100 Tables Noon-1:30pm
