Historic Meeting Location

The Valcour Brewing Company was winner of a 2017 AARCH Preservation Award (Adirondack Architectural Heritage) for restoration and rehabilitation of the 1838 Old Stone Barracks. The Barracks is historically significant as the oldest extant structure on the Plattsburgh Air Force Base, which is itself historically notable as the most longstanding, combat-ready, military installation in the United States.

The Barracks is architecturally significant as a well-preserved example of vernacular Greek Revival period design applied to military function. The Old Stone Barracks was used during the site's various military operations as an Army Post and Air Force Base before the building became vacant in the late 1960s. Despite its vacancy, the Barracks was placed on the National Register

of Historic Places in 1971.
