Great local history in a mostly original building.

Watch out for days the revolutionary war reenactors are in the area. The First Ulster County Militia always does a great job demonstrating the 18th century. They were here today to celebrate the official marking of the intersection of four of the oldest buildings in Kingston, one being the Persen house! It was around 1661 that the oldest part of the house was built, and today the county was able to unveil a new placard on the street designating this area a historic landmark. The house is well staffed and there are always a great group of people with wonderful knowledge to share.

A fascinating journey into Dutch settlement in the Hudson valley. Well worth a visit!

Love the old building, pre civil war. Believe it to be built during the revolutionary war. Wow so old still in one piece

Great little gem in uptown Kingston

House and staff are wonderful
