James Vanderpoel House
Federal-era architecture and decorative arts
The James Vanderpoel House, also known as the House of History, was built around 1819 and is one of the finest examples of Federal-period architecture in the region. The house features period-appropriate furniture and decorative arts that reflect the prosperity and refined tastes of early 19th-century Kinderhook.
Operated by the Columbia County Historical Society, the Vanderpoel House sits on Broad Street in the heart of the village, making it an easy stop while visiting the farmers’ market or exploring Kinderhook’s shops and galleries.
