Senate House State Historic Site
Senate House State Historic Site, Dutch Colonial architectural site in Kingston, United States
The Senate House features stone walls with a brick rear section laid in Flemish bond, containing three ground floor rooms along the street.
In 1777, the first New York State Senate convened in this stone house owned by merchant Abraham Van Gaasbeek during the Revolutionary War period.
The museum building constructed in 1927 exhibits significant artworks by the Vanderlyn family and displays the Kingston Stockade collection about early local history.
The site welcomes visitors from April through October, Wednesday to Saturday between 10 AM and 5 PM, and Sundays from 1 PM to 5 PM.
The Senate House earned distinction as the first building in Kingston to receive National Register of Historic Places designation in 1971.
