Many people have enjoyed the Mid Hudson Valley, but many do not know the history of Kingston. Kingston was the first capital of the state and in the uptown area is where the stockade was built is where visitor will find most of the history.The Senate House, the Old Dutch Church and many old (pre Revolution era) homes and buildings.
The area around Kingston is known for the wonderful farms, orchards and vineyards. If you enjoy the somewhat slower pace in life the Mid Hudson area is just the spot fishing, boating, hiking, skiing are just a few things to fill your time with.
Yes, it has its trouble as all areas do and if the governing people who have been empowered to run things in that beautiful area of New York would do what they promised to be elected then things would be better for all persons. I was raised there and I long to see the people of Kingston regain their wonderful city back.
