I enjoyed learning about the history of the house and its inhabitants. The docent was excellent. For those interested in NY State history, this house is worth visiting.
its just an old house with some stuff to look at. I was bored out of my mind. more interesting things to do in kingston than go to the Persen house. go to the strand, more to do down there.
a friend and i were strolling in uptown kingston and paid a visit to this historic building.the college student manning the entrance provided a short informative tour of the building, which has been partially restored.this is a 17th century stone building that has had many incarnations and provides an interesting glimpse into local, regional, and american history.if you are in the area, definitely worth a trip.
