Early Dutch founders of Kinderhook, the Van Vleck family slowly made their way closer to Hudson in the mid-1800s, eventually settling and building Maple Cottage right down the road from the Claverack train station, which served a popular route from Albany to Boston and was eventually decommissioned in the 1950s. The train station brought incredible vitality and economic success to homes and businesses in the hamlet, and the Van Vlecks certainly didn't miss out. One son ran a mobile bakery, selling ''European'' baked goods from a horse-drawn carriage he shared with the region's most lauded baker, Daniel G. Hickey. Another ran a general and craft store down the road. The Van Vlecks would live at Maple Cottage for generations, their family story and distinguished home deeply woven into Hudson and Claverack's history.
