Having recently celebrated its 350th anniversary, Kingston blends the historic with the hip.

Located in the outdoor paradise of the Hudson River Valley, Kingston's old-world architecture and revitalized waterfront are an ideal place to explore the past or prowl the present.

Three distinct districts of town with vastly different offerings mean that a visit to Kingston is two vacations in one. Because the town was founded by the Dutch in 1652, history lovers will lose themselves in the 17th-century Dutch architecture and numerous museums, while contemporary art aficionados can spend a day strolling the galleries and chatting with the artists themselves.

Outdoor enthusiasts, meanwhile, can sail or kayak right into Kingston's Rondout Harbor to take in the revitalized waterfront. Regardless of the season, Kingston has something for everybody.
