History
Kinderhook is one of the oldest place names in New York, dating
from Henry Hudson's 1609 exploration of the river named for him. He
saw some Indian children playing at a hook in the river and gave it
this place name. The Dutch settled what is now Kinderhook village
in the 1660s and it has remained the loveliest early village in the
Hudson Valley. Today it is noted for its history and many historic
houses. The central part of the village is on the National Register
of Historic Places
Visit the Columbia County Historical Society's museums of
county history and art, the Society's James Vanderpoel House, a
distinguished Federal home of 1820, and the Luykas Van Alen house,
an important early brick Dutch house (1737). Nearby is the
home of President Martin Van Buren, a National Historic Site. A
number of the other historic houses in the village are seen from
the street and are on house tours now and then.
