Kingston’s Uptown neighborhood is where visitors will find many fine examples of America’s early colonial history. The first permanent settlement was built in 1652. Governor Stuyvesant ordered the original stockade built in 1658 to protect the early settlers from local Indian attacks. Originally called Wiltwyck, Uptown Kingston is the largest remaining example of early Dutch settlement in New York State. In 1777, Uptown Kingston’s Senate House is where the first capital of New York was established, and visitors can explore many historic sites and museums that represent that era. Uptown Kingston today is a thriving neighborhood with many shops, restaurants, museums, galleries, music venues, farmers’ markets, festivals and more. Though abundant public parking is available, the area is best enjoyed on foot. It boasts a highly diverse range of architectural details for visitors to explore, a chronology of American architecture that spans four centuries: from the early Dutch and English, to Federalist, Georgian, Greek Revival, Victorian, Romanesque, Italianate, Neo-Classical, Art Deco and Contemporary.

This is the historic stockade area of Kingston where the original Dutch fort was constructed, hence the name Stockade. This area is loaded with beautiful shops, restaurants, farmer's market and several historic sites. It's a Kingston must see!

The Kingston Stockade District first settled in 1652, you'll find new restaurants, bars and shops amid American architecture spanning four centuries. Walking tours highlight the 1777 Senate house—the first capital of New York—and 21 pre-Revolutionary war houses.

- Museum“(43-minute drive) Once a functioning mine known for its abundance of natural cement, this subterranean site has lived many lives: Campbell’s Soup harvested mushrooms from it, it was earmarked as a nuclear fallout shelter for the region, and experimental musician Tony Levin recorded an album there. (Atlas Obscura has a more thorough history of the site.) Now, the mine is operated by the Century House Historical Society, which is dedicated to preserving the history of cement production in the region. It’s open to the public for tours—be sure to wear shoes you don’t mind getting muddy—and for the occasional concert. This year, you can check out Japanese taiko drumming or a gamelan performance in the mine.”
