Hidden Treasures of the Catskills with Anthony Musso

New York’s Catskill Mountains remain a popular destination for skiing, hunting, trout fishing and hiking. Its history as a booming summer resort, which began in the nineteenth century and continued through a period when a portion of it was known as the "Borscht Belt", stimulated the construction of a number of structures that today serve as reminders of an earlier time. Boarding houses and cottages that once attracted tourists from New York City and the elaborate resorts that followed tell the history of a remote region that was transformed into beloved summer colonies. Join us as we visit a variety of sites that remain under the mainstream tourist destination radar. Walk a trail that spans five locks of the Delaware and Hudson Canal. Tour ten stone houses that date back as early as 1685 and, for a period, served as New York’s capital when the British burned down Kingston. These sites and many more are excellent getaway destinations. Take a day trip or wander the area for a weekend to visit lesser known historic sites in the region.  These are the “hidden treasures of the Catskills.”
