House #3—
VanEtten Dumond Spy House
The VanEtten/Dumond (Spy) House, built prior to 1685, is the oldest colonial house in the Town. During October and November of 1777, the house was used by the Continental Army as a guard house with prisoners, and a "spy" was held in the basement.

House #4—
Ostrander-Elmendorf House
—— NOT OPEN IN 2008 ——
The original section of the Ostrander-Elmendorf House was built in 1709. Two later additions completed in the 1700's provided more living space and a weaving room to make linen. During the Revolutionary War period, the oldest section was used as a tavern which apparently was very popular.

House #5—

The Jan VanDeusen House, built in 1744 by Captain Jan. This house, built as one unit, is one of the earliest rural Georgian cottages built in the Town. The parlor served as the meeting room for the New York State Committee of Safety during October and November of 1777, during the Revolutionary War.

House #6—
Patentee Manor House
Also on the tour is the Patentee Manor, which is an excellent Georgian, two-story house built by the Cole family. It represents the ultimate in upper-middle class wealth and social status. Although the owners were of Dutch descent, the style of the house is strongly influenced by the nearby English community.

House #7—
Ten Eyck Bouwerie
Another house reached by bus is the Ten Eyck Bouwerie. This was originally the homestead of Matys Ten Eyck. In the early 1700's, Mr. Ten Eyck was a large landowner who farmed, raised grains, and created extensive orchards. He was also part owner of the Ten Eyck-Newkirk Grist Mill, where his grain and other farmers' grain was ground.
