Historical Description:
The Clinton House State Historic Site is named for Revolutionary War Governor George Clinton. This beautifully restored Dutch colonial/Georgian stone house was built in 1765. Rebuilt with soldier labor after a fire, the house served as the residence of Quartermaster Udnay Hay for four years. It was an active site from 1777-1783 when Poughkeepsie was the capital of New York State.
The Site:
The Clinton House is not just an historic home but also a repository for historical documents that span over three centuries of Hudson Valley History. The site was home to the Dutchess County Historical Society.
