Hasbrouck Family Association

The Hasbrouck Family Association (HFA) was founded in 1957. Its initial goals were the purchase of the Abraham Hasbrouck House and the documentation of family history. (The Jean Hasbrouck House already belonged to the Huguenot Historical Society, with which HFA is affiliated.) With the tireless leadership of Kenneth E. Hasbrouck, Sr., the organization grew. HFA has six principal purposes: 1. To support, preserve, furnish and maintain as a museum, the Abraham and Jean Hasbrouck Houses on Huguenot Street, New Paltz, NY, presently administered by Huguenot Historical Society of New Paltz, NY as an example of the Huguenots’ lifestyle and their contributions to early American history; and to assist the support, preservation and maintenance of other sites as authorized by our charter or certificate of incorporation. 2. To support the preservation and maintenance of Locust Lawn in Gardner, NY, presently administered by Locust Grove in Poughkeepsie, NY as a notable historic house of Hasbrouck provenance. 3. To maintain and continue the genealogical and historical records of the family. 4. To publicize, both within the Corporation and publicly, items of interest that relate to family and Corporation members, whether historical or current. 5. To provide scholarships to deserving students matriculated in degree granting programs of colleges and universities and are documented Huguenot Heritage. 6. To foster our Huguenot heritage and ideals in education, freedom of thought and family life. With a membership of over 300, the Association holds an annual gathering in New Paltz and publishes a newsletter that addresses items of common interest regarding the houses and our heritage, as well as topics submitted or requested by members. Maintaining family genealogy information, it is available to HFA members. HFA awards academic scholarships annually.
