An historic alluvial valley south, of Albany, first known to be inhabited by Indians^, the Onesquethaw Valley District contains the archeological and architectural evidence of a self-contained agricultural community in a prime state of preservation. The district today, still farmed and dotted with early stone houses is a highly valued visual document of eighteenth century settlement, social structure and land use.(Submitted on July 14, 2025, by Devry Becker Jones of Washington, District of Columbia.)
