Area Attractions
 

We are only minutes from Interstate 87… a world apart: "Grandma Moses county," with working farms (maybe more cows then people), picturesque villages, French and Indian war era sites, American revolution battle sites, canal w/locks, slate quarries, charming shops, galleries, and eateries; beautiful, peaceful, historic Washington county, so named in 1784, with 1,543 miles of roads and tangible evidence of a bygone era, is indivisibly linked with the early development of the nation.

Allow Mr. Fromberger to be your guide to local history. He has worked as a park ranger in the National Park Service and as a N.Y. State historic site superintendent. He is a past member of the Company of Military Historians in America, the Nature Conservancy, and the 1785 Society, and he is a member of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in Washington, D.C.
