Things To Do
Persen House
Taylor manages the Person House in Kingston, NY! Ulster County invites you to the Matthewis Persen House Museum and Cultural Heritage Center, a cornerstone of the City of Kingston's historic Stockade District. This house has witnessed many important moments in Ulster County's history. It was burned at least twice, saw wars and revolution and was home to doctors, tailors, grocers, druggists and innkeepers. As you walk through the House, you walk through time. Please join us at the Persen House located at 74 John Street, Kingston, New York, where we bring Ulster County's rich history alive! In 2021, the Persen House will be open on the following schedule: SEPTEMBER 11 - OCTOBER 30 Saturdays Only 10am-2pm (Stop by and let them know you're celebrating with Taylor later!)
Rough Draft Bar & Books
This is our favorite place to grab a drink (or book) in Kingston! Amazing owners and amazing items! Coffee, beer, wine, books, and dogs are allowed to pop in and enjoy the amazing atmosphere! Please pop in!
Kingston Farmers Market
You can knock out the Persen House, Rough Draft, and the Farmers Market in one morning and still be back in time to party with us at 4 p.m.! All three of these awesome Kingston activities are located on one historic corner. Grab a coffee and a book, tour the museum, and buy something local at the Farmers Market in just an hour or two (OR ALL MORNING - your choice.)
Kingston Greenline
The Kingston Greenline supports non-motorized transportation by making it easier and safer for pedestrians, cyclists, and people with disabilities to travel throughout the city. The system connects communities and provides residents better access to open space, exercise opportunities, and healthy food options. The Kingston Greenline also serves as a hub for regional trails like the Wallkill Valley Rail Trail and O&W Rail Trail, and the Hudson River Valley Greenway trails, and is also part of the Empire State Trail. The Kingston Greenline is a joint initiative of the Kingston Land Trust, City of Kingston, and Ulster County.
The Anchor
If you're looking for a GOOD BURGER with unique toppings that ROCK - check out the Anchor! They may not be open for dine in due to city construction, but they are doing take out and delivery. WELL WORTH IT! Please support this incredible local business. We will feed you on October 2, but any other night-we highly recommend this place.

Hudson Valley Garlic Festival
Save the dates for this year, October 2nd & 3rd 2021 Although health restrictions are changing on a day to day basis, The festival committee is working to try and bring the 2021 Festival to life. We continue to hope for everyones safety as well as adapt the festival plans to promote a safe event.
Black Creek Preserve
For a family-friendly hike, you can’t beat Black Creek Preserve. Yes, the steep uphill climb at the start may make the under-10 contingent groan, but they’ll love crossing the suspension bridge that spans the creek and skipping stones on the Hudson River shoreline. In between, have them watch out for wildlife — from blueback herring, which journey from the ocean to deposit their eggs in Black Creek, to bald eagles. Free and open year-round, sunrise to sunset.
