Hurley Historic District, Colonial Dutch historic district in Hurley, United States
Hurley Historic District is a settlement area along US Route 209 featuring ten stone houses from the 18th century that show Dutch colonial building methods. The structures sit close together and form a continuous streetscape made up of residential buildings from the early settlement period.
The area was founded in the 17th century by Dutch settlers and grew into an important residential settlement. The region played a role in American independence when it served as the temporary seat of state government in 1777.
The early Dutch settlers shaped the village character through their building style and way of life that lasted for generations. Their influence remains visible today in the stone structures and how the street is laid out.
The houses can be viewed during the annual Stone House Day when several buildings open their doors to visitors. Planning ahead helps you find the best time for your visit and check the accessibility of individual buildings.
The 18th-century cemetery on the grounds holds the graves of early Dutch and English settlers from the colonial period. These burial sites tell the story of the people who founded and built the village.
