Large windows, side porch, and long well-sweep indicate the builder's exceptional regard of the comfort and convenience of his womenfolk.

​​​​​​​​Abraham Hasbrouck

Deyo House

(1692 - remodeled 1890)

Reflects a more recent civilization built upon the firm foundation of the past.

LeFevre House (1799)

Illustrates the move toward elegance of the Federal period.

DuBois Fort (1705)

At the insistence of the English governor, " a place of Retreat and Safeguard upon Occasion" was built but fair dealing with their neighbors, white and red, ensured that it would never be needed for that purpose.

French Church (1717)

After ten years of documentary research, this replica was built in 1972 to take its place as an integral part of community life.
