wish you could all come to Kings
ton and see the fine old things here.
1t is called the Colonial City because
it was settled in the old Colonial
days. way back in 1851, but It was
called Wiltwyck then; so you can see
It is very old. There are many oil
houses here. The oldest one Is call
ed the Senate House.
When the British burned our city
in the Revolutionary War all the
houses were burned except the Sen.
ate House. Let me tell you something
about this house. 1t was built IN
1876, and George Washington had his
headquarters here once. It was also
the first capitol Of New York state.
1t is two stories high and is made Of
old stone. It is in good condition, and
many people visit it to view the old
relics kept there. The last time !
went there saw a spinning wheel,
some OF George Washington's clothes,
old-fashioned kitchen utensils and
many other things, There was a
cracker over two hundred years old.

not bush to be seen, but every foot
of the open ground cultivated, and
