Established by the French Huguenots, New Paltz was settled on land purchased from the Esopus Indians. Some of the stone houses from the original settlement, built 1692-1894, still stand.
Huguenot Street is home to a reconstructed 18th century stone church and other historical buildings. Many of the houses contain family furnishings from various periods of ownership. The architectural styles range from Colonial to Victorian.
