On Saturday, May 31, 2008, from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m, S. Paul’s Lutheran Church on Route 9 in Red Hook is inviting all our friends and neighbors to a free "Nooks and Crannies Tour" of our church buildings
The "Big Red Church," on Route 9 in the Village of Red Hook, is on both the National and State Historic Registers. The Gothic exterior of the church does not hint at the remarkably beautiful interior with its old wood, stained glass, vaulted ceilings and inclined floor.
For the first time we will have our large, "High Victorian" Parsonage open for touring as well. Beautiful woodwork, stained glass windows and formal rooms will all be opened for the tour.
The Church Hall on the corner of Fisk St. and Route 9 was originally built as a Lecture Room then it was converted to be used as a "Chapel" and then altered again to be used as the Church Hall. Just by walking through the different areas it is easy to "read" the history of this building.
There will be mounted displays of papers and pictures in different areas and guides posted in all the buildings to help answer questions about the history of the properties.
Those who have toured the buildings will be offered free coffee and cake in the Hall afterwards.
For "history junkies" or home town curious, this is a great opportunity to tour these historic buildings.
For more information please call (845) 876-1910
