Alligerville Historic District

Alligerville Historic District is a protected area containing 81 buildings, 5 sites, and 8 structures in the hamlet of Alligerville in Ulster County. The district covers a large area and preserves buildings from different periods that show how people lived in the past.

The district developed after 1828 near Lock 21 of the Delaware and Hudson Canal, which shaped the region's economic growth. The John and Catrina Alliger House is among the earliest structures that document this founding period.

The Reformed Dutch Church of the Clove Chapel and the Union Free District School show different building styles from various periods. These structures shape the streets and tell the story of the communities that lived here and built their religious and educational centers.

Visitors can explore the area by walking through the streets and viewing the different buildings. The best way to experience it is a leisurely walk to see all the structures and their details.

The Thomas S. Schoonmaker Farm from 1830 and the Canal Outbuilding from 1850 show the close connection between farm life and canal transport. These buildings show how the local economy benefited from trade and farming working together.
