James Vanderpoel House c. 1820

Also known as the “House of History”; originally the Federal-era home of prominent lawyer and politician James Vanderpoel and his family, the house reflects an elegant lifestyle in a prosperous, early 19th century upstate New York village.

The property is now an exhibit space featuring galleries of paintings and decorative arts from the Columbia County Historical Society (CCHS) permanent collection. The CCHS Bookstore & Museum Shop is located within the house.
