The Bronck House - Greene County New York

An Archaeological Site Report.. Prepared for the Greene County Historical Society. Standing tall as a testament to perseverance and a bygone era, the Bronck House in Greene County, New York, boasts a rich history dating back to 1663. Built by Pieter Bronck, a Swedish immigrant, it began as a single-room stone structure, reflecting the practical Dutch Colonial style of the Hudson Valley. Through generations, the house prospered alongside the Bronck family. Expansions in 1685 and 1738 transformed it into a larger dwelling, mirroring the family's growing fortunes. Remarkably, the Bronck House remained in the family for a staggering eight generations – a 276-year legacy. Today, this meticulously preserved landmark stands as the second-oldest surviving dwelling in Upstate New York. It serves as a museum, offering tours that unveil the Bronck family's fascinating story, the evolution of agriculture and lifestyles over centuries, and the broader context of Dutch and Swedish settlements in the region. Recognized as a National Historic Landmark in 1967, the Bronck House continues to educate and inspire visitors, transporting them back in time to experience a slice of early American life. Rare
