Chimney - Abraham Hasbrouck house ~ Huguenot St. - New Paltz, NY • click to embiggenThe Abraham Hasbrouck house is next to the Hugo Freer house on Huguenot St. in New Paltz, NY (mid-Hudson Valley Region). The Freer house is that of my 14x-great grandfather, Hugo Freer (my grandson Hugo's namesake).
The Huguenot Street Historic District, a National Historic Landmark, was created to preserve the oldest continuously inhabited street in America with its original houses. The Freer house construction was started in 1692 and finished (in its original form) in 1694.
On Memorial Day, Hugo, the wife and I stopped by for visit on our way back home from south NJ.

Very interesting, I love New Paltz, back in the 60's and 70's it was quite the scene.
My family tree is rooted in that area where they had farm after farm in the next town over, the Town of Lloyd. And recently I found the Hasbrouck name in my family tree.
