"A Street Full of Stories: The Long History of Huguenot Street" a grounds tour with Eddie Moran

  • Historic Huguenot Street 81 Huguenot St New Paltz, NY, 12561 United States (map)

HHS invites you to join us on Saturday, May 10th from 3:00 to 4:30 PM (eastern time) for “A Street Full of Stories: The Long History of Huguenot Street." On this 90-minute walking tour, former HHS employee and current Ulster County Historian, Eddie Moran, will guide visitors through our 10-acre National Historic Landmark District as you examine the broad history of our site from the 17th century through today. Guests will learn about the Esopus people who have called this site home since time immemorial, about the process of Dutch colonization which first brought Europeans and enslaved Africans to this land, and about the diverse colonial and early American community which grew into New Paltz as we know it today. 

 

Eddie Moran currently serves as the appointed Historian for Ulster County, NY. Eddie graduated with a B.A. in history from SUNY New Paltz in the Spring of 2020, and began work as a tour guide at Historic Huguenot Street in New Paltz while still a student in 2017. He managed guided tours and historical interpretation full-time at Historic Huguenot Street beginning in 2022, and was appointed Ulster County Historian in September 2024. He is a lifelong resident of the Wallkill River Valley, and a descendant of the region’s Huguenot and Dutch colonizers.
