Greene County Historical Society’s Tour of Homes to feature New Baltimore

NEW BALTIMORE―For more than 46 years, the Greene County Historical Society’s Tour of Homes has been a beloved annual tradition, drawing visitors from near and far to experience the rich history and charm of our towns.

The tour offers a rare opportunity to step inside remarkable examples of historic architecture, ranging from elegant Victorian-era homes to churches built as early as the 1830s; with our local homeowners generously allowing the public into their homes for this special event, all while taking in the stunning foliage that frames our communities.

This year’s Tour of Homes brings us to the Town of New Baltimore, a picturesque countryside community founded in 1811 along the Hudson River. Like many towns in Greene County, New Baltimore has long welcomed settlers and travelers, and its story is deeply woven into the broader history of the region.

The tour will be held on Saturday, June 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Tour headquarters will be at the New Baltimore Town Hall located on County Route 51, approximately one mile west of Route 9W. At headquarters, tour tickets as well as those ordered in advance can be picked up. Box lunches will also be available for purchase while they last. The tour will be held rain or shine.

Tickets are $30 the day of the tour and $25 in advance. Participants will receive a brochure with information about the sites along with a marked route map.

To reserve advance sale tickets visit gchistory.org/home-tour or send a check payable to GCHS to: Greene County Historical Society, P.O. Box 44, Coxsackie, NY 12051. The tickets will be available with your tour brochure on June 6.

This is the Greene County Historical Society’s major fundraiser. Proceeds from the sale of tour tickets support the Society, the Bronck Museum and the Vedder Research Library.
