Bronck House - Wikipedia Entries on Waymarking.com

It is the oldest structure in upstate New York, and was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1967.
A stone house was built first, by Pieter Bronck, of the family for whom the Bronx was named, who bought the property from native Americans. That was expanded soon after, and, in 1738 a larger brick house that was connected by a doorway was built by his grandson. The house is reputed to be the location where the Coxsackie Declaration of Independence was signed, more than a year before the Continental Congress signing in 1776.

The house remained in the family until 1938. It is now owned and operated as a museum by the Greene County Historical Society.
