HHS invites you to join us on Saturday, May 31st from 3:00 to 4:30 PM (eastern time) for “New Findings, Old Stones: Recent Research and Discoveries on Huguenot Street."

On this 90-minute walking tour, former HHS employee and current Ulster County Historian, Eddie Moran, will guide visitors through our 10-acre National Historic Landmark District as you examine recent research and new discoveries on the history of Huguenot Street and New Paltz. Guests will learn about recent research on the individuals from the Esopus Tribe who signed the 1677 Esopus-Huguenot Land Agreement, new findings on the earliest enslaved Africans known to have lived and labored on Huguenot Street, the recent dating of a stone home using patterns of annual growth in timber, and more.
