WVLT's 6th Annual Historic House Tour
The Wallkill Valley Land Trusts 6th annual Houses on the Land tour will take place on Saturday, June 4th, 2016. This years tour explores the fascinating legacy of the Town of Lloyd. Perched on a shale terrace, bounded by the Swartekill marshes on the west and the Hudson cliffs to the east, its romantic rocky ridges, ravines, streams and woodsy terrain are the heroes of Warren Sherwoods memorable poems and history of the town.
Creativity and the arts are an inescapable presence throughout the tour, which features eight of the towns most important rural homesteads dating from the early 19th century to the present. Some were occupied by artists or contain interesting collections; others were fancifully re-imagined by artistic personalities or created more recently as visions of earlier 20thcentury architectural traditions. They include several unusual stone dwellings, two clapboard houses in the rustic Greek Revival and Italianate traditions, and a charming contemporized farm house and its tiny guest house modeled on a birdhouse. Of the two contemporary houses, one reflects the Arts and Crafts movement in a woodsy setting; the other celebrates early European Modernism in California from its stunning perch over the Hudson River. Most have never before been open to the public.
