Clinton House was built around 1765 by Hugh Van Kleeck. VanKleeck already owned about fifty acres on the south side of Main Street. The Clinton House is a State owned historic resource named to honor George Clinton, the first governor of the State of New York and former Vice-President of the United States. It is operated by DCHS under an agreement with NY State Office of Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation.

The Glebe House was built in 1767 as the rectory to house the Rev. John Beardsley and his family.  Beardsley, loyal to the King of England, the head of his Church, lived here and ministered to the congregants of Christ church, Poughkeepsie and Trinity Church in Fishkill until December of 1777 when he and his family and slaves were forced to flee to the protection of the British in New York City.  The Glebe was the land given to a minister to provide additional supplement to his small income.  In Beardsley’s case, the Glebe was approximately 250 acres.
