Happening Today

At noon today, Sunday, July 21, a historic marker will be unveiled and dedicated at the Conyn Homestead, 644 Spook Rock Road, a site that has remained a working farm since the 17th century. The house is an example of Dutch style architecture in the Hudson Valley. The primary brick structure bears the date 1766 in its gable. An earlier structure is estimated to have been built around 1650.

From noon until 3:00 p.m., the current owners of the historic home, Nancy Fuller and David Ginsberg, will be offering tours of their authentically restored home, including the kitchen which is the setting for Fuller's lifestyle and cooking show, Farm House Rules, on the Food Network. 

Volunteers with the Claverack Historical Society will provide assistance for the occasion. The public is invited to attend free of charge. The historic marker was provided by the Pomeroy Foundation as part of its community history program.
