4 Unique Experiences You Can Catch in Catskill, NY
The season has started for Hudson Valley residents to start exploring and going on day trips. There are so many places in our area that we have never been before and didn't know existed.
Each Hudson Valley town has an interesting history and unique opportunities. I have been to a Greene County, NY village and town numerous times. Every time that I visit, I come across something new.
As the weather continues to get more beautiful, warmer and brighter, we can make our way out to explore what the Hudson Valley has to offer.

Rams Horn Livingston Sanctuary

Cat'n Around Catskill

This is a cat lover's dream come true. I came across Catskill's historic Main Street, filled with unique cat statues and had such a fun time learning about each one.
In 2021, Catskill will celebrate the 17th year of these beautiful cat statues, Cat'n Around Catskill. Guests can see these statues from Memorial Day until mid September.
These feline statues are created by local artists and showcased for cat others to see.

The Bar At Captain Kidd's Inn
251 W Main St, Catskill, NY 12414
Have you ever been to Uncle Sam's house? Yes, I'm talking about the actual Uncle Sam that we have all seen pictures of and heard stories of.
Uncle Sam's house is located in the village of Catskill, NY. Upon arrival, I was observing the historical home and sign out front. I was then greeted by those who were enjoying their day in the outdoor and indoor tiki bar under Uncle Sam's house.
Uncle Sam lived in Catskill from 1817 until 1823. The site can be found off of Main Street in Catskill, across from a gas station.
The Bar at Captain Kidd's Inn is a hidden gem, a tiki bar located in the basement and outside of Uncle Sam's house. This pirate-themed bar is open 6 days a week.

The history of Thomas Cole, his influence on culture and landscape lives on in Catskill, NY. Thomas Cole National Historic Site is a nonprofit organization.
ILOVENY shared information about Thomas Cole National Historic Site,
