A balance between historic charm and modern amenities

Also known as the Stockade District, historic Uptown Kingston is an eight-block hub that perfectly mixes old-fashioned charm with quirky, modern amenities. The first capital of New York was established in Uptown Kingston and reflects one of the largest remaining examples of colonial living in the state. As you walk throughout this district, you’ll find a variety of American architectural styles, historic sites, and museums. Honoring its unique past, this district is a modern hotspot for farmers markets and festivals, where it’s common to see a blacksmith demonstration, violin circle, and other colonial activities. Today, Uptown Kingston houses gyms, medical offices, gift shops, cafes, hat shops, boutiques, and diverse eateries. You can even take a step back in time while enjoying a meal at places like Hoffman House, a casual eatery in a 1679 stone house, or Outdated, a quirky café with antiques and organic eats. You won’t want to leave this quaint town, but access to Interstate 587 makes traveling around Upstate New York a breeze.
