Farmers Choice New Paltz
What is Historic Huguenot Street?
Historic Huguenot Street is a ten-acre National Historic Landmark District in the middle of New Paltz, built around seven stone houses from the early 1700s, a reconstructed 1717 French Church, and a burying ground that holds the families who founded the town. French-speaking Huguenot refugees settled here in 1678 and named the place for die Pfalz, the German region that sheltered them on the way over, and their houses still stand on the original street grid above the Wallkill River flats. The site also interprets the much longer Esopus Munsee history of this land, so a walk here covers far more than one wave of settlers.
Why it is worth the trip
Very few places in America let you stand on a street laid out in the 1600s with its original houses still on it. The guided tours go deep on the families, the enslaved people who lived and labored in these same houses, and the town that grew around them, told room by room in buildings that survived three centuries. History people plan a whole afternoon here, and even a casual stroll past the stone gables and the churchyard at golden hour is one of the best free walks in the village. October brings lantern-lit haunted history tours, and the holiday season dresses the houses for the period.
Plan your visit
The grounds and the street itself are open every day and free to walk, while guided house tours run seasonally from spring into fall, first come first served from the DuBois Fort visitor center on Huguenot Street. From Farmers Choice New Paltz, drive west on Route 299 into the village and turn right on North Front Street, about six minutes door to door, with the district one block north of Main Street. Tours cover uneven floors and stairs, so wear real shoes, and check the site's calendar before a special-event weekend because tour times shift with the season.
Good to know
The district sits at the quiet end of the village, so it pairs naturally with the rest of a New Paltz afternoon: Water Street Market and its courtyard shops are a block away, Main Street's restaurants climb the hill just south, and the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail crosses the neighborhood for a flat riverside walk before or after your tour. Spring and fall are the sweet spots for weather, summer weekends bring wedding parties and photographers to the lawns, and winter turns the stone houses stark and beautiful with almost nobody around. Street parking is easy outside of festival weekends.
Make Farmers Choice part of the day
The farm stand is six minutes east of the district, right where Route 299 meets the Thruway, so it bookends a history walk without any backtracking. Order Now from the New Paltz menu as you finish your tour and your pickup is usually ready by the time you drive out of the village, or Visit Us first and let a Farm Hand set you up before an evening stroll past the stone houses. Bring a valid 21+ ID, and keep in mind New York law does not allow consuming in public or in a vehicle, so save it for home or wherever the property owner allows.
