It was interesting to learn that the city of Kingston was the first capital of New York.

This is more of a reflection on the makers market happening today at the Senate house then on the building itself. I might come back for a tour sometime. Clearly, Kingston has indeed turned into a little Brooklyn and I was disappointed to see only a few local makers at this event. A bit crowded as well, I was glad I had my mask.

We visited during covid and in the morning shortly after opening so it was not too busy. We had a tour without other guests which was nice. Our guide was nice and knowledgeable. She humored us and answered/discussed our questions with us which was fun. Lots to look at here. Only thing that I wish were different is upstairs in the museum there are photos of what the senate house looked like in the early 1900's/late 1800's and the decor is very different and seems much more involved than what is currently in the house. It would be nice to see it similar to those photos which were beautiful. Very nice place in town to visit.

We learned about the formation of the first New York State government (19 men crammed into a room in a 100 year-old Dutch colonial house) and the subsequent burning of Kingston by the British. Well worth a visit.
