Visiting Woodstock, NY – With Pictures!

May 3, 2007

As I mentioned in an earlier post, my sister, her son and I visited Woodstock, NY on Tuesday. We had a few adventures on the way there, but when we did finally make it, we had a great day.

First, let me give you a little background on where exactly Woodstock is. Ummm, it’s a little SouthWest of Albany, NY and West of Kingston, NY. It is right on the Southern border of the Catskill State Park and tucked to the SouthEast of Hunter Mountain and to the East of Phoenicia, NY. It is North of the Ashokan Reservoir.

Now, I know that I just threw a bunch of places and links in there, but I did that on purpose…I wanted you to be able to click around to see how cool of an area this is. It really is…but that’s just the location. Just wait until you see the town.

Since we visited town on a Tuesday, the masses of tourists weren’t there. Most of the shops were open, so we were lucky to get some bagels and something to drink. There are tons of little shops throughout town…

…and a good number of art galleries…

Have you ever been to one of those towns were there is absolutely no rush? When we were in the bagel shop, a woman was baby talking to James. She looked up at Stephanie and said, “Hey, it’s better than working, right?”

So Woodstock is full of art and cool people. But what about the nature? Yeah…that too. There is a river that runs right through town. It’s called Tannery Brook. It has some nice waterfalls and is very clear.

Overall, this town is a bit out of the way for the average person, but no one ever said we were very average. That’s why Laura and I have been having short little conversations about how nice it would be to live in Woodstock, NY (hint, hint).

    Thanks for pictures of Woodstock, N.Y. I spent my teen years
    in that area, and the Library picture really hit me, spent many
    happy hours there a few times a week for many years. I consider it the place I received my education as I was directed
    by an older, dear friend, to read only the best literture, and for a gal of 14, that was the best advice i ever had. The pictures
    brought back so many happy memories of Woodstock, thank
    you again . My heart is still in Woodstock, and is the only place
    I consider home. Sincerely, gerry hoyt

    Actually both the Mill Stream AND Tannery Brook run through our beautiful Woodstock! My little house in town is a few feet from Tannery Brook, which is a wonderful creek that joins Mill Stream a few houses away. The spot where they join is deep enough to swim, another reason to move here!

    That’s actualy the Mill Stream that runs through Woodstock. The Tannery is just that building. Where can I get into the Tilly Foster mine from? Where is the pile of rocks?
