1. Early Columbia County Heritage Marker
Welcome to Columbia County Historical Society's interpretive exhibit exploring the early heritage of the site, specifically the people, stories and events that shaped the history and character of northern Columbia County.
The cultural heritage of this site dates back more than 12,000 years to the paleoindians who once inhabited the Hudson River Valley. The Dutch founding of New Netherland in 1624 brought sweeping change, while later arrivals from England, Africa and other regions continued to shape the cultural narrative of Columbia County-and the new American republic - over the next four centuries.
