Around Greene County and the Catskills

Greene County has long been a magnet for settlers, artists, writers, and travelers; it all began with Henry Hudson’s exploration of the Hudson River and was followed by the arrival of Dutch settlers. Its geographic location between the “Rhine of America” and the scenic northern Catskill Mountains

contributes to Greene County’s allure, as do the Great Algonquin Flint Mines, fascinating remnants of the area’s prehistoric inhabitants, the Mohegans.

Much of the content in Around Greene County and the Catskills reflects “everyday living,” a sampling of its architecture, people, and activities which reflect a sense of history and changing lifestyles. The inclusion of the Dutch Bronck houses of 1663 and

1738, a National Historic Landmark homestead complex, sets the tone of this visual history.

From colonial times through the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, Greene County (like other New York counties) has been affected by national conditions; its economic base has changed and adjusted accordingly. Different ethnic groups who have chosen Greene County as their home have enhanced the area’s rich cultural heritage.
