Clermont State Historic Site, overlooking the Hudson River, is located at One Clermont Avenue, Germantown, NY 12526 in Columbia County in the Hudson River Valley. Clermont State Historic Site was the Hudson River seat of New York's politically and socially prominent Livingston Family. Seven successive generations of the family left their imprint on the site's architecture, room interiors, and landscape.
Robert R. Livingston, Jr. was Clermont's most notable resident. His accomplishments include: drafting the Declaration of Independence, serving as first U.S. Minister of Foreign Affairs, administering the oath of office to George Washington, negotiating the Louisiana Purchase, and developing steamboat technology with Robert Fulton. Today, Clermont appears much as it did in the early 20th century . . . Designated a National Historic Landmark in 1973, Clermont is an anchor in the 1990 Hudson River National Landmark District.
American Revolution / War of Independence
Because of the Livingston family's prominent role in support of independence, Clermont was burned by British troops under the command of General John Vaughan during a foray up the Hudson River in the autumn of 1777. Margaret Beekman Livingston, who managed the estate during most of the war years, rebuilt the family home between 1779 and 1782.

Ray Tousey is a farmer and a beekeeper. Ray has more than 250 hives. He is well known in those parts. He is a ubiquitous presence at farm markets in Columbia and Dutchess counties.
From honey to candles, and bulk beeswax for soap and candle crafters, Ray Tousey and his bees add their unique products to the markets. Kids love to check out Ray’s live bee display and vintage truck. Ray also features a variety of small fruits: currants, gooseberries, raspberries, and heirloom tomatoes. Ray brings hand-made fruit juices, preserves, and his own unique brand of cassis sweetened with honey, not sugar.
All the bee products and the wines can be found at the Rhinebeck Farmer’s Market and the Kingston Farmer’s Market, as well as at their new tasting room that will open this spring.
