Historic Huguenot Street is a museum, educational institution, and National Historic Landmark District located in New Paltz, New York. In the late 17th century, 12 families--whose descendants remain an important part of the institution today--established a vibrant community on the banks of the Wallkill River to maintain their faith and protect their cultural heritage. Historic Huguenot Street collects and preserves their buildings, landscape, and objects to keep their history alive, promote a deeper understanding and enjoyment of Hudson Valley life, and build appreciation for its preservation.
