Attractions – Uptown Kingston
From the many historic buildings built as early as the 17th century to the modern Dietz Stadium sports facility which is home to the Kingston Stockade Football Club (soccer), Uptown Kingston has a wide variety of attractions for any age and interest. Much of Uptown Kingston is designated as the “The Stockade National Historic District” where museums such as the New York State Senate House (Kingston was NY’s first capital), Persen House, and the Fred J. Johnston Museum can be visited as well as numerous other historic landmarks like the Old Dutch Church. Forsyth Park and the Forsyth Nature Center provide a place to entertain the kids and the BSP Art and Entertainment Complex is a former vaudeville theater that hosts live music, comedy and other events to keep the adults happy. A trip to the Farmers Market which is held year round is always a great way to start a visit to Uptown Kingston.
