COXSACKIE — Explore Coxsackie from the river to the hills on Saturday, June 1, 2024 with the Greene County Historical Society’s 44th Annual Tour of Homes from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.

This year’s tour focuses on the Town and Village of Coxsackie where the first tour of homes took place in 1976. Tour sites span a full range of settlement from village to farmstead and river to valley. Take a trip through time as you visit these beautiful homes.

On this day only, through the graciousness of owners who have painstakingly restored and maintained their homes and the hard work of the Society’s volunteers, tour goers are invited inside to enjoy the many sites.

Tour headquarters will be at the Vedder Research Library on the Society’s Bronck Museum grounds located on County Route 42 off Rt. 9W. Off street parking is available. Picnic lunches prepared by the Coxsackie United Methodist Church will be for sale as long as they last. The tour will be held rain or shine.

Tickets are $30 the day of the tour; $25 in advance. This is a driving tour. Car pooling is encouraged as some sites have limited parking. Participants will receive a packet of material about the sites along with a marked route map.

To reserve advance sale tickets, send a check payable to: Greene County Historical Society, P.O. Box 44, Coxsackie, NY 12051. Advance sale ticket reservations must be received by May 25th. Advance tickets will be available with your tour packet at the tour headquarters on June 1. This is the Greene County Historical Society’s major fundraiser. Proceeds from the sale of tour tickets support the Society, the Bronck Museum and the Vedder Research Library.
