German Reformed Sanctity Church Parsonage

The German Reformed Sanctity Church Parsonage features a one-and-a-half-story structure with fieldstone walls and wooden sections on Maple Avenue in Germantown.

Built around 1746, this parsonage served as residence for pastors of the First Reformed Church until the early nineteenth century, when it transitioned to private ownership.

The building represents the settlement patterns of Palatine German refugees who established religious institutions in the Hudson Valley during the eighteenth century.

The parsonage, now functioning as the town's history department headquarters, opens to visitors on Saturdays with exhibits of local archaeological findings.

Archaeological excavations at the site uncovered pottery fragments that indicate the elevated social status of early pastors who resided in this oldest building of Germantown.
