Welcome Home to Kingston, NY 4.5 rating By Anonymous ( May 10, 2018) Kingston, NY is a wonderful place to live. I love the community, set amidst all of its historic sites and natural beauty. I fell in love with Kingston the first time I visited, and I knew it was the place for me. I love the arts and the culture of the entire community. There are ...Read More so many interesting museums to browse around, especially the Trolley Museum. The entire historic district of Kingston is the best area. It is fascinating, and there is so much history in this beautiful city. The tranquil yet mighty Hudson River stretches along Kingston. The boaters are out almost year round!

I love taking the scenic cruises that leave from Kingston daily. It is truly a nature lover's paradise to relax and enjoy a gorgeous day! I especially love the Rondout Lighthouse! The area has grown so much in recent years, and there are plenty of stores, restaurants, and small businesses. Everyone has made me feel welcome here! Read Less
