Kingston Stockade District
Kingston Stockade District, Historic district in Kingston, United States
The Kingston Stockade District spans eight blocks in Uptown Kingston, featuring buildings from three centuries and preserving the original Dutch settlement street layout.
Peter Stuyvesant established the settlement in 1658, ordering the construction of a 14-foot stockade fence to protect the Dutch village of Wiltwyck.
The Senate House within the district served as the location where New York State established its first constitution and government in 1777.
Friends of Historic Kingston offers guided walking tours from May through October, with self-guided tour materials available at their gallery.
The intersection of Crown and John streets contains original Dutch stone houses on all four corners, making it the sole intersection of this type nationwide.
