When the county fair opens in most places, it’s a big deal. But in New York it’s a lot harder to stand out from the crowd. So if the hundreds of fairs across the state want to turn heads, they’d better be every bit as glitzy and exciting as the city.

IN OUR NUMEROUS MUSEUMS, GALLERIES, AND

HISTORICAL SITES YOU MIGHT FIND A LEFT-BEHIND INTEREST OR A NEW FOUND INQUISITIVENESS.

ON A SNOWY SKI SLOPE, A SERENE HIKING TRAIL, OR PICTURESQUE BIKE PATH YOU COULD REDISCOVER A LONG

LOST LOVE OF THE OUTDOORS. TAKING IN A SHOW AT ONE OF OUR THEATERS, HAVING A GREAT MEAL AT ONE OF OUR PREMIER RESTAURANTS, OR SHOPPING AT ONE OF OUR MANY

ANTIQUE SHOPS MIGHT ENERGIZE A WORK-WEARY SPIRIT. JUST BREATHING THE COLUMBIA COUNTY AIR, GAZING AT A SUNSET OR TAKING A LEISURELY DRIVE ALONG ONE OF

OUR COUNTRY ROADS COULD TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE FROM THE ORDINARY—AND KEEP YOU

COMING BACK.

YOU NEVER KNOW

WHERE YOU’LL FIND YOURSELF…

Postcard Perfect! TACONIC STATE PARK & HILLSDALE 30-Minute Tour

Start by taking the Taconic State Parkway to the Route 23 exit. Head east toward Hillsdale, about three-and-a-half miles on Route 23 until you see a “National Beauty Award Highway 1969”sign and make a right on to County Route 11A, which will soon become County Route 11. At County Route 27, turn left and continue until you reach County Route 7. Make a right on to Route 7 and drive about a mile to County Route 7A, then turn left and continue into Copake. Bear left at the village circle and stay on Route 7A until you reach Route 22.* A left on to Route 22 will take you to Route 23 in Hillsdale, and another left on to Route 23 will point you west back toward the Parkway.

*If you’re looking for a nice picnic area and/or campgrounds, turn right off Route 22 on to Route 344 and enter the Taconic State Park. For a scenic stroll, follow signs leading to parking for Bash Bish Falls. The mile-long hike to the towering falls runs along a trail bordering Bash Bish Brook.

Imagining History. HUDSON, OLANA, CLERMONT

This driving or biking journey on Rte 9G is highlighted by orchards, horse farms and fantastic vistas of the Catskill Mountains.

Hudson is known for its unique and varied architecture and antique dealers. The “Main Street USA” ambiance of this city harkens a simpler time and way of life. (Note: In Hudson, Route 9G connects with 3rd Street.) Farther south, you’ll encounter the crown jewel of the Hudson Valley: Frederic Church’s Olana. With the look of a Persian palace, this magnificent mansion overflows with Victorian elegance, fabulous furnishings, and breathtaking paintings by the most famous landscapist of the Hudson River School.

Olana is situated four miles south of Hudson atop a huge hill affording some of the Hudson River Valley’s most spectacular scenery. Treat yourself to a guided tour of the villa, or a leisurely picnic, or a stroll down Olana’s lovely trails, yielding unforgettable views up and down the Hudson Valley.

Drink in the elegance of a golden age and the history of a courageous few. At the Clermont State Historic Site (off Route 9G in Clermont), you’ll tour the grand 500-acre Hudson River estate, former home to seven generations of the distinguished Livingston family—including its patriarch, Robert Livingston. Take in the stately beauty of family heirlooms...and admire the formal gardens and the lush views of the Hudson as you enjoy a picnic on the grounds along the river.
