If I’d listened to my Hudson friends, I might never have checked out Kingston. It’s historically gotten a bit of a bad rap—perhaps because it is really more of a big city than the quaint waterside towns nearby. In fact, Kingston was the original capital of New York!

The focus on empowering the existing community, instead of leaning into “weekenders,” might be what draws us to this area so much.
