Also see . . . Katsbaan Reformed Church History. Excerpt:
The Katsbaan Reformed Church is located about 3 1/2 miles north of Saugerties on the Old King's Highway. The congregation was established in 1710 with the arrival of the Palatine immigrants to West Camp. Visible from all parts of the surrounding Catskill countryside, the old stone Church "de steene kerk op de Kats Baan" was built in 1732 - the year George Washington was born. It is a Church built literally "upon a rock." The land on which it stands was leased in perpetuity on March 1, 1731 by the trustees of the Kingston Commons at an annual rental of three peppercorns per annum if demanded.(Submitted on March 23, 2025.)
