 Opening Parade, Walkway Over the Hudson Visit New York’s newest State Park. Walkway Over the Hudson State Park www.walkway.org is located on The Poughkeepsie Highland Railroad Bridge, a marvel of 19th century Industrial Revolution engineering. Opened to the public on October 3, 2009, this unique scenic attraction is bracketed by nature trails, museums, restaurants, shops and restrooms. For art and architecture buffs both children and adults, Opus 40 & Quarryman’s Museum in Saugerties (near Woodstock) www.opus40.org is a truly unique 6-acre sculpture built in an abandoned bluestone quarry. The Quarryman’s Museum preserves the stone working and farming tools of the 19th century.
The bounty of
the Hudson Valley is evident at the farms and farm markets in our area.
Local families continue to farm the land and grow the freshest, most
mouth-watering produce you will find anywhere! New Paltz is astonishingly rich in the tradition of harvest, with a
wonderful variety of farming and food production stretching from early summer
to Christmas. Bring your family to delight in visits to our farms and farm-stands.
When you have
filled your baskets with mushrooms and head for home, stop by the
Hudson River Garlic Festival in Saugerties, NY to stock up on the
garlic you'll need to complement those 'shrooms. The festival is
running on Saturday and Sunday. For more information got to www.hvgf.org |
