New Paltz Doors

Sherry Felix

The Huguenot settlement in New Paltz was founded in 1677 on land purchased from the Munsee. Here’s a bit of native American history in the region.

For Norm’s Thursday Doors.

    These are wonderful doors. I’ve been to New Paltz (many years ago) but I didn’t know the history.

    Oh, way cool-looking history-rich place! Thanks for the tip. Duly noted for my next trip into that part of New York. At this point, lord only knows when that may even be possible.

    Whenever I see a stone house I always imagine 18inch walls that keeps everything out.. hot, cold. 😊 I wonder if anyone builds like that anymore😊. Nice post!!

      I like the idea of a thickly insulated home. Very green.
