Kingston was New York’s first capital in 1777 and became an important New York hub after the discovery of natural cement in the region. The Farmhouse is situated within a 10 minutes drive to many historical areas in town. We provide a guide with our favorite things to do in the area.
There is plenty of parking on our property, and it is best to have a car with you. A little trickier but you can take the bus or train up and use a local Taxi to get around. Uber/Lyft exist but are somewhat unreliable.
