Tour information
At our 10-acre National Historic Landmark District, visitors experience over 300 years of history.
During a tour of Historic Huguenot Street, visitors will explore the multicultural history of a unique American settlement, known today as New Paltz, New York. While touring three of the street’s historic structures, visitors will consider how individuals of each cultural group were affected by their physical environment and social status. Tour capacity is currently restricted to 12 registrants and typically lasts one hour.
The replica Esopus Munsee wigwam represents the strength and sacrifices of this region’s Indigenous peoples from pre-colonial America to the present day.
The reconstructed 1717 French Church teaches the Hudson Valley’s multicultural beginnings, including the history of Huguenot persecution in France leading to their immigration to North America.
The early 18th-century Jacob (Jean) Hasbrouck House shares colonial life for both the free and enslaved members of the community, as well as the critical historical events that shaped the nation.

ACCESSIBILITY
Historic Huguenot Street strives to make its grounds, exhibits, and programs accessible to everyone, wherever possible, with understandable limitations given the historic nature of the buildings and grounds. For more information about the accessibility of museum houses, please contact the Main Office at (845) 255-1660 x100. It is helpful to inform us in advance if you plan to visit the site with someone who has limited mobility so that we can ensure we are prepared.
Service Animals
Historic Huguenot Street welcomes service animals to accompany people with disabilities in all areas of the site where the general public is allowed, including the historic structures.
According to the ADA, service animals are defined as dogs that are individually trained to do work or perform tasks for people with disabilities. Dogs whose sole function is to provide comfort or emotional support do not qualify as service animals under the ADA, and are not permitted inside the historic structures or office buildings of HHS.
A service animal must be under the control of its handler. Under the ADA, service animals must be harnessed, leashed, or tethered, unless the individual’s disability prevents using these devices or these devices interfere with the service animal’s safe, effective performance of tasks. In that case, the individual must maintain control of the animal through voice, signal, or other effective controls.
