Lake Katrine, Ulster County, NY

April 20, 2019

10:30 AM Meet in the parking lot of the Ulster Town Hall. Parking is limited at our first destination, so we may need to carpool.

10:45 AM - Noon Tour of the Osterhoudt Homestead at 35 Lohmaier Lane, Lake Katrine. The oldest part of this stone house is thought to date to the late 1600s, with additions from the 1730s to c. 1750. The history of ownership is unusually well attested in the County archives, including the tenure of the house’s most eccentric owner, the little-known founder of the first Unitarian Universalist community in Kingston.

12:15-1:45 PM Lunch at the Olympic Diner, 620 Washington Street, Kingston.

2:00-3:00 PM Tour of the De Meyer-Burhans-Felten House and Dutch barn, 101 Bogert Lane, Lake Katrine. This stone house, built ca. 1836, is a late example for the period and has uncommon details. It also has a late 19th-century frame addition. The stone portion has a near-square footprint set into a hillside and a low pyramidal roof. Undergoing restoration, it is at present in bare-bones condition.

Directions: Exit Rte 209 at Enterprise Drive (Rte 157.) If you’re coming from the north, the exit is south of the Rhinebeck bridge, just past the Saugerties and Mall exits. You will immediately see the Ulster Town Hall and parking lot on your left. If you’re coming from the south, go left where the exit ramp forks, and left again at the light. You will see a sign for Town Hall where Enterprise Drive ends. Go left and you’re almost there.

A Journey Down Memory Lane with John Stevens

Saturday October 7, 2017

HVVA members and friends will visit Old Bethpage Village Restoration (OBVR) on Long Island.

The chartered coach will leave the Hurley Reformed Church parking lot at 8:00 am and return at 6:00pm.

The cost of the tour is $35.00 which includes the travel to and from the site, entry into OBVR and a bag lunch.

Seats are limited so please reserve your place early by sending your check to HVVA Treasurer, Karen Markisenis, 30 Manor Place, Kingston NY 12401

Old Bethpage Village Restoration (OBVR) came into existence in 1963, when Nassau County acquired the Powell property, a 165-acre farm located on the Nassau-Suffolk border. The acquisition of the land and the plan to develop a historic restoration were timely, as rapid post-World War II development on Long Island had taken a toll on the area's landmarks.

Old Bethpage Village Restoration provides visitors with a unique and wonderful opportunity to step back in time and experience life in a recreated mid-19th-century American village. The 209-acre village includes an assortment of homes, farms and businesses.
