Coleman Station Historic District

The Coleman Station Historic District contains nine farms across three square miles of rural land along Webutuck Creek in Dutchess County, New York.

Starting as livestock farms in the late 18th century by New England settlers, the properties transformed into dairy operations when the railroad arrived in 1850.

The district represents agricultural evolution from traditional farming to modern practices, with properties adapting to serve new agricultural purposes like coffee roasting.

The district boundaries follow the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, offering visitors access to historic buildings and agricultural landscapes throughout the designated area.

One farm within the district became a primary milk supplier for New York City, marking the area's commercial significance in regional food distribution.
