More than 275 years ago, the Dutch were constructing homes of stone of such enduring quality that the homes are still part of Main Street Hurley, Massachusetts.
You can stroll down the street July 8, rain or shine, as residents open their old homes to visitors.
The 330-year-old village has quite a history in the new world.
According to stonehouseday.org, "Among the open houses every year is the 1740 Van Deusen House, the temporary capital of New York after the British torched Kingston in October 1777, and the 1685 Spy House where a British spy was held before being hanged on an apple tree across the street in retaliation for Kingston's destruction."
