Photos: This Is the Oldest House in the Hudson Valley

There's a humble home tucked away in Greene County, NY... and it holds a very impressive New York State record.

While the oldest home in New York State is located in New York City (that honor goes to Wycoff House in Brooklyn, built in 1652), the structure in Greene County, NY is only several years younger.

The Bronck house and barns, which were constructed more than 100 years before the founding of the United States, are open to the public. Though thoughtfully constructed, the original home contained only one room before additions began decades later.

Also on the property is New York's oldest multi-sided barn (13 sides, above), as well as a more tradition Dutch barn and Victorian barn.
