Unfortunately we never found the house. We were following a "Union Vale, Beekman, Pawling and Dover" tour offered by Dutchess County Tourism. We followed the directions. Just past the "8 Schoolhouse: A split rail fence marks the stone house built by Palatine Nicholas Emigh ca. 1740, lovingly restored in its original setting near the spring." It seemed like we should be able to find it. I hope you are more successful.
