The tour guide was very engaging and almost made you feel like you were actually experiencing the life of the Huguenots.

Owner description:
Historic Huguenot Street is where this funky and fabulous town began. In 1678, a small band of French-speaking Huguenots set out to create a place of their own. They named that community New Paltz. Today, six-acre this National Historic Landmark District preserves their charming stone houses, all of which are open to the public. Central to the site is the DuBois Fort Visitor Center, built in 1705. Today it houses exhibition galleries, a Museum Shop and offers a shady spot to sit and enjoy. Grounds open and special programs offered year-round. Walk-in guided tours offered May through October every day except Wednesday. Also offered on weekends in November and December.

Charming little street with the original houses of the first French settlers. You can find their graves in the small original cemetery.

I have done this walk a few times, I don't believe it was ever with a tour. Very cool to check out the old houses, church and graveyards. It's in a great location, many restaurants and shopping just around the corner.
