Not quite sure what all the fuss is about. It’s about 6 houses which, ok they are old and lovely, but not that different to many others we have seen as we have poked about in the Hudson Valley. Nothing is open unless you take the tour.
If you visit New Paltz, it's a very interesting place to visit and learn about the history and colonization of this part of the country. Its buildings, though few in number, are incredibly well-preserved despite the years, allowing us to appreciate the past.
We downloaded the app and did a self guided tour due to our time constraints, but I would have loved to take the guided tour. It was a quaint historic street with gobs of history perfect for a relaxing afternoon of sight seeing. If you’re on a schedule, and want the guided tour consider buying tickets in advance.
About 6 houses that are closed unless you take the tour. I went inside the gift shop and upstairs; figured that all the houses looked similar. Coming here is a charming part of a day trip.
Wonderful way to step back in time "on a birthday size " level. There was no organized tour when I stopped in the visitor center so the other houses weren't open but they were all nicely marked and easily walkable. They give you a great sense of the history of the Huguenots without being overwhelming. A good history lesson in about an hour to hour and a quarter. Thank you
