SCHEDULE D, PAGE 2, PART III, LINE 4 THE ORGANIZATION POSSESSES A UNIQUE COLLECTION OF ARCHITECTURE, MATERIAL CULTURE, ARCHIVES, ARCHAEOLOGY AND LIBRARY REFERENCE MATERIALS, ALL OF WHICH TELL THE STORY OF THE HUGUENOT REFUGEES AND SETTLEMENT OF THE NEW PALTZ COMMUNITY, INCLUDING THE STORIES OF NATIVE PEOPLE, CONTRIBUTIONS OF ENSLAVED AFRICANS, AND GENERATIONS OF IMMIGRANTS. ARCHITECTURAL FEATURES SUCH AS THE EARLY 18TH CENTURY STONE CONSTRUCTION, JAMBLESS FIREPLACES, AND BEEHIVE CHIMNEYS SPEAK TO THE FRENCH AND DUTCH INFLUENCE OF THE TOWN'S HUGUENOT FOUNDERS WHILE THE MATERIAL CULTURE-ARTWORK, FURNITURE, TEXTILES, KITCHENWARE, WEAPONRY AND FARM IMPLEMENTS-ARE MOSTLY HUDSON VALLEY VERNACULAR. MANY ITEMS CONTAIN CLEAR LOCAL PROVENANCE, 400 CUBIC FEET OF ARCHIVAL MATERIALS INCLUDE MANUSCRIPTS, PHOTOGRAPHS, MAPS, RARE BOOKS AND MUNICIPAL RECORDS OF THE LOCAL COMMUNITY AND FAMILIES FROM 1582 TO THE PRESENT DAY. DECADES-LONG ARCHEOLOGICAL EXCAVATIONS ADD ANOTHER NEW DIMENSION TO THE COLLECTION. NATIVE PROJECTILE POINTS, POTTERY, HAND TOOLS, STORAGE PITS, AND POST HOLES PROVIDE CLEAR EVIDENCE OF ONSITE OCCUPATION FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS BUT REMAIN TO BE FULLY INTERPRETED. REMNANTS OF COLONIAL AND AMERICAN POTTERY, KITCHENWARE PIPES, AND TRADE BEADS CAN ALSO BE FOUND. INTRODUCING THE PUBLIC TO THE HISTORIC COLLECTIONS IS A KEY ASPECT OF THE MISSION. EACH YEAR COLLECTIONS ARE USED IN THE CREATION OF NEW ONSITE AND ONLINE EXHIBITS, THE FURNISHINGS OF HISTORIC HOUSE MUSEUMS ARE OPEN FOR TOURS, EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS FOR CHILDREN, AND FOR RESEARCH BY STAFF AS WELL AS OUTSIDE SCHOLARS, GENEALOGIST AND LOCAL HISTORIANS.
