  • 10. Historic Huguenot Street New Paltz
    Historic Huguenot Street is located in New Paltz, New York, approximately 90 miles north of New York City. The seven stone houses and several accompanying structures in the 10-acre National Landmark Historic District were likely built in the early 18th century by Huguenot settlers fleeing discrimination and religious persecution in France and what's now southern Belgium.
