Historic sites along Route 209 in Stone Ridge
A trip along United States Route 209 takes motorists past a historical landmark in the Stone Ridge neighborhood of southeastern New York. The Cornelius Wynkoop Stone House, a structure more than 250 years old, sits behind a white picket fence just off the road and is part of the United States Register of Historic Places. The center-hall colonial’s limestone facades contain history, as George Washington slept there in November 1782 during his tenure as commander-in-chief during the Revolutionary War.
In the present day, the house is part of the Main Street Historic District and sits near the middle of Stone Ridge, which has evolved into a neighborhood lined with a network of farmland, foliage and suburban streets all intertwined together. “The highlight is the farms, the farm stands and the local farm-to-table restaurants,” says Patty Kowatch, an associate broker with Keller Williams Realty Hudson Valley North. “You could do a staycation here and fill up the week.”

Local restaurants and expansive farms
Route 209 bisects Stone Ridge in a diagonal trajectory, serving as the main commercial hub of the neighborhood. Most restaurants sit along the road, with numerous options at its confluence with Atwood Road. Around that intersection, patrons stop into Bodacious Bagels and the Black Dot Café for an early snack or beverage, or check out international fare at Asia Restaurant or Momiji Sushi & Grill. Other stops along Route 209 include Lydia’s Café, Cherries Ice Cream and The Roost. MyTown Marketplace is a nearby grocery destination, while more options sit on shelves in a Hannaford near Kingston.
Farms and orchards are one of Stone Ridge’s most prominent features. “It’s really the outdoors,” Kowatch says of the area’s primary draws. “There’s a couple of farm stands there that have fresh, baked goods, and they sell the fresh produce right out of the gardens.” The Little Egg Farm and the Stone Ridge Orchard both operate within Stone Ridge; the latter has been around for around 200 years, and visitors pick their own wares, peruse the farm stand or sit at the bar. The bar is open on weekends and is also available for rental. “In the fall, it’s pumpkin picking and apple picking,” Kowatch says of the area’s favorite pastimes. “Apples are huge and there’s a ton of wineries around here.”

An eclectic teddy bear and toy museum
In the northeastern corner of Stone Ridge, The Den of Marbletown is one of the neighborhood’s most unique destinations. A teddy bear museum by trade, it showcases the Steiff brand of plush toys alongside Madame Alexander and Barbie dolls, handmade items and more; visitors can also find a souvenir at its gift shop or have a meal in its café. In the southeastern region of Stone Ridge, the Duchess Farm Equestrian Center’s expansive complex has several country homes on its property and both boards horses and offers riding lessons. Portions of SUNY Ulster’s community college campus are in Stone Ridge, as well.
About 5 miles east of the neighborhood, several racing series take to Accord Speedway. The dirt track hosts racing action almost every Friday night from April through August. Drivers strap into modifieds, four-cylinders, sportsman cars and even vintage vehicles. Rosendale, meanwhile, sits about 3 miles east. “They love Rosendale,” Kowatch says of area residents. “It’s like one main street and they just had a two-day festival in Rosendale, which is right up the road. It’s artsy and people like the farm stands. That’s the feel of the area, where it’s kind of back-to-nature with lot of people who are creative and artistic, who like the outdoors and gardening. These little towns have their little niches of what people like, and yet they’re not that far from Kingston.”
The Den of Marbletown is a local museum featuring thousands of teddy bears.

Open spaces and established trails
Marbletown Town Park sits just north of the neighborhood, where visitors play basketball, volleyball or baseball on its athletic facilities. The park also offers pits to throw horseshoes, a picnic area and a playground. Within the neighborhood, Stone Ridge Pond is a popular spot for anglers to catch bass, and Osterhoudt Flats consists of around 90 acres of open spaces, forests and meadows. Those who visit the Flats wander along trails, have picnics or simply enjoy the scenery of the protected area. Part of the O&W Rail Trail, which traces a 27-mile path from Ellenville to Kingston, also runs through Stone Ridge.

Unique housing designs in Stone Ridge
Most of Stone Ridge’s residential streets branch off of Route 209, running through patches of trees and farmland to create a multifaceted landscape. Smaller ranch-style homes and older colonials can sell for around or under $500,000, while more sizable, contemporary properties tend to cost close to $700,000 or $800,000. Large, custom homes and more unique designs are usually priced higher than $1 million, like modern architecture and new constructions. Styles also include colonials and split-levels. One of the area’s most eclectic designs is the “Tria Rotunda” on Route 209, which consists of three round, connected buildings alongside a garage.

Connectivity via the New York State Thruway
Route 209 serves as the neighborhood’s main thoroughfare and runs through the area. In its entirety, it connects Pennsylvania and New York. “209 goes from Kingston all the way down into Pennsylvania,” Kowatch says. “That’s your main road that a lot of people take to get down to Stone Ridge, Marbletown, Accord and Kerhonkson.” Access to the New York State Thruway sits about 10 miles northeast of Stone Ridge, and the roadway runs for just short of 500 miles around the state. It connects Kingston with Albany, Buffalo, the Bronx and more, and New York City is just under 100 miles south.
