Reformed Dutch Church of Claverack

The Reformed Dutch Church of Claverack is located at the north end of the hamlet of Claverack, New York, United States. The congregation was founded in 1716. The brick church was built in the mid-18th century and renovated and expanded twice in the 19th, reaching its present form in 1879. New York State Route 9 H passes by it.

The church is the oldest institutional building in Columbia County.^[1] Its early congregations were made up of ethnic Dutch and German Protestant colonists. In 2001 it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places, along with several of its other buildings and cemetery. The dead buried there include one of George Washington's aides and a former speaker of the state assembly.
