Many of the original stone houses still remain from the 1700s. I love this house - it actually looks like a face to me. do you see how the chimney is the nose...
Jolene enjoyed peeping in all the windows:
There was this crazy contraption attached to a well... I wonder how it works:
I think the flowers were a bit confused!
Loved this fire hydrant...
Huguenot street was right on the Wallkill River:
I loved the old cemetary:
There were very old tombstones dating back to the 1700s
The leaves were amazing and we took full advantage of them for our pics :)
Here we are being silly...
After walking around the historical sections of New Paltz, we walked around the cute main street in town:

Looks like you had a wonderful time! Those houses have held up beautifully; amazing that they're hundreds of years old!
We will have to get together for some knitting time soon!
GORGEOUS shots! Looks like the weather behaved, too.
That one leaf Jolene has is HUGE - do you know what kind of tree it's from?
Really fabulous shots! The stone houses are amazing. I laughed when I saw your comment about the crocuses blooming in Fall -- I was once astounded to discover them blooming in our neighbourhood and thought similarly, that they were way off schedule, when my gardening friend advised me that there is a Fall blooming variety.
It seems like it would have been such a serene place to live in the 1700's, doesn't it?

Thanks for the shout out to Historic Huguenot Street. I'm glad you liked our site and the photos -- they are great! Can we use some of them?
As to the crocuses, they're not confused. They are a fall-blooming variety. That being said, I always forget they are there and it is a wonderful surprise all over again each year!

That's what I love about the east coast, those old, old gravestones!
