Wordless Wednesday-Musician at the Senate House in Uptown Kingston NY Today after a business meeting in Uptown Kingston I was walking by the historic Senate House when I heard beautiful folk music.  I decided to stop for a few minutes, and of course I wanted to know their reason for being there.  I was told this is something they do weekly on Wednesdays between 12:00-1:00 PM.  I actually saw someone sitting nearby having lunch and enjoying the music. These are the little moments in a day that can lift the spirits.  So if you are ever around Uptown Kingston on a Wednesday stop by the Senate House and take in the music.    If the weather is bad you can find the group performing in the Senate House Visitor's center.                                              SENATE HOUSE PHOTO   Jennifer...

Today when I was Uptown Kingston waiting to sign some paperwork I could not resist taking a shot of such a glorious spring day.  Actually at almost 90 degrees it felt more like the middle of the summer. In this area you can find many old homes, this is considered a historic district.  As a matter of fact the site of the first meeting of the New York  State Assembly was just down the street.  They met in Bogardus Tavern.

This hair Salon is owned and operated by Ella DeWitt in Uptown Kingston, close to many restaurants and for those who are interested in history you can take a walking tour.  The area has many historic sites and was the first capital of New York.  Ella has a smile that is very welcoming and her establishment provides services for all ethnic groups.  Ella is also a cosmetology instructor, and is a technician for a hair product company so you are in good hands. Another service that Ella provides is styling the wigs for the mannequins. If you have seen a mannequin with a well styled hairdo  you might have been looking at Ella's work. She is also very involved with the community, and inside her place of business you will find a bulletin board where events happening in the community are poste...

  This building was built in 1857 and was the home of the Wiltwyck Fire Station.  In 1981 it was listed in the National Register of Historic Places. In 1982 this building became the Volunteer Firemen's Hall and Museum.  This is a meeting place for volunteer firemen in the area and the purpose of the museum is to preserve fire related equipment and paperwork.  In the museum can be viewed a parlor with ornate furniture from the 1800's as well as a player piano which was a common piece of furniture in fire house parlours.  Other items found here are:documents, badges from conventions, working fire alarms and carriages. The unique building is located in the Stockade district of historic Kingston. Tours are available from April to October Other historic Kingston blogs: Historic Roundout    ...

A national study confirmed what local residents and tourists already know about Ulster County--there is a thriving community of arts and culture. The Kingston, New York area was named as the 5th best place for artists in the entire US according to Business Week and Sperling's Best Places. The ranking was given based on a high number of artists per capita and the cultural resources available in the community. The professional artist category included visual artists (sculptors, painters, designers), writers, screenwriters, dancers, musicians and actors. To gauge cultural resources, the study considered the number and size of local area resources such as museums, philharmonic orchestras, dance companies, theater troupes, library resources, and college arts programs. The study named Los Ang...
