Most of all the hoopla in this town centers on the hamlet of Callicoon. It’s drawn me here time and again for its shops, its food, its railroad-tracks-through-the-middle-of-town charm. You could get lost here all day.
Other hamlets include: Falls Mills, Hortonville, Kenoza Lake, Kohlertown, Swiss Hill, Lower Beechwood, Upper Beechwood. Get found getting lost in some of these. Report back when you find a treasure.
Of note: In the hamlet of Callicoon
Here is where you might start to pay closer attention to the organization of Catskill towns and hamlets … or at least I did. On my fifth trip to Callicoon, I wondered why I had landed, once again, in Callicoon Center and still had 9.4 miles to get to my intended destination. Callicoon Center is a hamlet in the town of Callicoon. It’s most famous for the Callicoon Center Band in the summertime. The hamlet of Callicoon is, alternatively, in the town of Delaware. Who's on first?!
This clarification is my gift to you!
Where do we go from here?
From Delaware, head to these other towns and their hamlets. Easy direct driving routes. Ask your GPS or get out your map.
Fremont: A great place to shoot clay pigeons. To the north/northwest.
Callicoon: Home to Callicoon Center (strike up the band!) and the North Branch Inn. Go north and to the east.
Cochecton: Find Henning's Local here, as well as NY's oldest train station. South of here.
Liberty: Come on over for cute antique shops, the Tractor Supply Store, maybe some tacos. East/northeast.
Bethel: Woodstock history and modern day concerts await, as well as fun on White Lake and amazing pizza. Head east/southeast.
Hopefully these suggestions will keep you from zigging or zagging too far. You're welcome! ;)
