Often referred to as "The Cathedral of Kingston," the Old Dutch Church was a part of the Dutch Colonial village of Wiltwyck which was a trading outpost in the colony of New Netherland. The original church structure, built on the present site in 1660, actually was one corner of the Stockade which Peter Stuyvesant ordered built as fortification. Wiltwyck later became the village of Kingston after the British took over the colony and renamed it New York. The original structure was largely destroyed by fire in the Esopus Indian raid of 1663. Rebuilt and enlarged several times, the church was again burned during the American Revolution by British forces in October of 1777.

Built in 1818 in the late Georgian style, the courthouse was erected on the same site where the original smaller limestone county courthouse stood. It was in the original Ulster County Courthouse that New York State was officially born in 1777. The New York State Constitution was written in its rooms and adopted on April 20, 1777. On July 30, New York’s first freely elected governor, George Clinton, took the oath of office at the courthouse. That same year, New York State’s first Supreme Court session was held here, headed by Justice John Jay. The 1818 courthouse was the site of a history-making event too when an Ulster County slave woman, Sojourner Truth, sued to regain her son who was sold to a family in Alabama. Truth won the suit, won her freedom from slavery and went on to become a nationally noted Abolitionist.
