It is impossible to travel around the Hudson Valley and not encounter the name Livingston. The Livingston family were the big land owners during the 1700-1800.
Teviotdale in the hamlet of Linlithgo and township of Livingston was constructed on 500 acres in 1773 and was the country home of Walter Livingston and his son-in-law Robert Fulton, the steam boat Fulton.
Located just several miles from the Clermont estate another site I wrote about in a previous blog. This too was the home of another member of the Livingston family.
Both Clermont and Teviotdale are on the historical registry for Columbia County in the State of New York.
Since the Livingston owned most of the land in this region, I wonder what they would say if they could see the changes that have occurred? The land use has certainly changed; and as land Baron how would they view the fact that more common folks can purchase property?
