Whether one sticks to the Route 30 Scenic Byway corridor or explores county or town roads branching off of Route 30, there are few views in the Town that are not scenic. The Town's viewsheds consist of small farms in valleys and rolling hills surrounded by forested mountains. While the fall foliage season is spectacular, every season, particularly spring and summer, provides the visitor with an incomparable quiet, rural scenic backdrop with quaint villages and farmsteads reflecting historic architecture.

Historic and Cultural Resources

Anti-Rent War on Blenheim Hill - The roots of the Anti-Rent War in New York State began with a system of land tenure that was brought by Holland early in the seventeenth century to establish primacy on the North American continent so as to exclude Britain from this same territory. To do this, the Dutch West India Company was authorized to grant large estates to people who would establish settlements of fifty persons within four years. The owners of these granted lands were called "patroons. The patroons, or landlords, would then lease the land to settlers who cleared it, raised crops, paid taxes, built homes, and paid rent. This granting of land as a reward for service to the crown was expanded after the British took control in 1664 and after the American Revolution in the late eighteenth century. This seventeenth century solution which continued for nearly 200 years resulted in tensions between land-lord and tenants in the nineteenth century, specifically between 1839 and 1864. This was the period of the anti-rent war wherein rioting began in Albany County in the Towns of Berne, Rensselaerville and Knox and spread to the counties of Columbia, Delaware, Greene, Rensselaer, and Schoharie. (More to follow. In Schoharie County, the Anti -Rent War occurred primarily in the Towns of Blenheim and Gilboa with Brimstone Church on Blenheim Hill being a central meeting place. In Delaware County, the towns of Roxbury and Andes figured prominently in the Anti-Rent War. Rather than include a description of this important piece of local history under each town, I plan to have a separate section in the Corridor Management Plan containing a more complete discussion of the Anti-Rent War in Schoharie and Delaware Counties.)

Lansing Manor at the New York Power Authority Site - At the Blenheim-Gilboa Visitor Center on Route 30 in Blenheim you'll find Lansing Manor, an early American country estate. The Lansing Manor House was built in 1819 by John Lansing, Jr. for his daughter and son-in-law, Jacob Livingston Sutherland. John Lansing, Jr. represented New York as a delegate to the Constitutional Convention in 1787, and the state's Ratification Convention in 1788. The manor house is a two story, 46-feet square house with a hipped roof. It has brick lined, wood frame construction on the first floor and a wood frame on the second. It features a five bay, one story porch along the front facade. Also on the property are: a shed and former summer kitchen, a well and its cover, outhouse, ice house, milk house, barn and silos, a possible guest / tenant house, and several other outbuildings. The manor house was restored by the Power Authority in 1977 and has been renovated since. A history buff's dream come true, Lansing Manor is filled with authentic furnishings from the first half of the 19th century. The house, which is listed in the National Register of Historic Places, is now operated by the Power Authority in cooperation with the Schoharie County Historical Society.

Jacob Livingston Sutherland served the elder Lansing as administrator of leases to farmers on the Blenheim Patent.

North Blenheim Historic District

The North Blenheim Historic District was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974. Portions of the content on this web page were adapted from a copy of the original nomination document. [1] Adaptation copyright © 2009, The Gombach Group.

Description

The Village of North Blenheim is located on the west side of the Schoharie Creek about five miles south of Breakabeen. It is a long linear village whose structures line Route 30. A sizable stream, the West Kill, cascades down from the hills at the western extremity of the village.

The village is separated into two sections, one known as the "Upper Street" and the other as the "Lower Street." The designation of the southern part as "Upper" probably stems from the direction of Schoharie Creek, which flows from south to north towards its termination at the Mohawk River.

A steep hillside which plunges down to the Creek, leaving no room for flatlands at that point, has caused the division into two sections. This may be clearly seen on a topographic map.

Despite this geographical constriction, the inhabitants of the Upper and Lower sections of North Blenheim are united in spirit and tradition. This is understandable, as the little community once was the largest to be found for ten miles in all directions and at one time served as the main trading center for the farms of a large area round about.

A mile below North Blenheim, the famous and fertile Schoharie Valley flatlands begin to diminish and, farther south yet, disappear altogether for long stretches of the creek. The nearest settlement to the south, Gilboa, is a small one.

Like its neighbor to the north, Breakabeen, about two thirds of North Blenheim Historic District's two and a half dozen buildings show marks of the Greek Revival influence. But unlike Breakabeen, there are no one-story temple form structures. However, there is an exceptionally well-proportioned and handsome Greek Revival Church (Presbyterian) built in 1841, flanked on either side by a residence of equal quality, all executed in wood.

The church facade is a study in striking patterns with its strongly shadowed pediment and flat pilasters interlaced by the horizontal motif of narrow wood siding. The church bell tower is square with a flat roof upheld by square columns. The two story high entrance recess is framed by attenuated Ionic columns.

The Manse on the east side of the church, and the Wilson home on the west, both well-preserved examples of similar architecture, make this an outstanding grouping. There are a number of other fine Greek Revival homes in the North Blenheim Historic District, having the pedimented central block with side entrance surmounted by projecting cornice and a one or two story wing.

Since virtually all North Blenheim Historic District's structures predate the Civil War, we find only whispers of the eclectic architecture of the late 19th century. A few square buildings with flat roofs and bracketed cornices such as the Chapman Hotel may be found. The Methodist Church and Springer's Country Store have the only decorative window lintels in the village. This church was erected in 1828 and remodeled in the late 19th century.

Significance

The little village of North Blenheim provides an appropriate 19th century setting for the pride and joy of its citizens, the Old Blenheim Covered Bridge. The latter was designated as a National Historic Landmark in 1964.

Indeed, without the concern of local citizens who mounted a campaign to save it, this important bridge would have been lost in 1930. The respect for tradition illustrated by this act seems still to exist in North Blenheim, as may be seen by the attention to the maintenance of the churches, the old outdoor pumps on several lawns, and the lack of modern intrusions.

Like its neighbor to the north, Breakabeen, which has been treated in another National Register nomination, the village of North Blenheim was settled by Palatine Germans pressing southwards and the site was probably chosen because of the proximity to both the water power on the west creek and the large expanse of flatlands just south of the village.

The history of the two villages parallel one another, and the same forces caused them to wax and wane.

The first recorded pioneers to settle in the area were the Beaucraft and Mattice families, who came during the 18th century. Henderick Mattice built a mill on the West Kill. Lambert Sternberg is another possible 18th century resident of what we now call North Blenheim.

But the main settlement of this village did not take place until after the Revolutionary War. Freegift Patchin, a Continental Army veteran, moved here and established a grist and saw mill in the last decade of the 18th century. By 1872-3, the Gazetteer listed two churches, two schools, two hotels, two stores, two wagon shops, two blacksmith shops, a harness shop, a shoemaker shop, a tailor shop, a paint shop, a grist mill, two saw mills, a sash and blind factory and about 50 dwellings. Wheat, butter, hops and broomcorn were important crops and the village was a center which serviced farm families for miles around.

As we have already noted was the case with Breakabeen, the agricultural emphasis in this region gradually shifted entirely to dairying and the small village industries were put out of business by the availability of goods manufactured more cheaply elsewhere. The story of the decline of this little village is a familiar one all over New York State.

Yet the farmlands of the Schoharie Valley were still rich enough to provide a living, so the village, though shrunken, continued to exist as a residential center. The descendents of some of the early settlers still live in the frame houses of their forefathers. To them it does not seem very long since Col. Hager fought in the Revolution, or the anti-renters threatened violence in the village because North Blenheim has changed relatively little since they were born.

North Blenheim Covered Bridge
North Blenheim is a hamlet in the Town of North Blenheim, Schoharie County, New York. It had the longest wooden, single span covered bridge in the United States and was known as the "Old Blenheim Bridge." It was built by _____________, a Vermont covered bridge builder, in 1855 and existed until 2011 when it was destroyed by flooding in Schoharie Creek caused by Hurricane Irene. A remarkable feature of the bridge was that the long span did not sag an inch from the time it was built to the time it was destroyed by the flood. An exact replica of the bridge is being constructed to replace the bridge at its former location, only it will be elevated so as to protect it from future floods.

Have you ever played disc golf?
If not, come out to Mine Kill State Park to learn all about this incredibly popular sport! Disc golf is very similar to traditional golf, with each player starting from a tee area in order to reach a target in the fewest strokes possible. However, disc golfers use a variety of plastic discs instead of a ball and clubs, and try to get the disc to land in an elevated metal basket called a "pole-hole." Both driving and putting discs may be rented at the Mine Kill pool office with a $5 deposit/$1 fee per disc. A variety of discs, golf bags, towels and other great gear may be purchased at the brand new MKDGC Pro Shop located at the park office. The first hole begins next to the pool parking area in the open ball field. Please sign the register at the information kiosk and pick up a scorecard for whichever layout you decide to play.

Household pets only; caged or on a leash not more than 6 feet, rabies vaccination and proof of same required. Not permitted in buildings or bathing areas.
