Schoharie County is one of the most beautiful areas of the state, encompassing the northern Catskill Mountains and the scenic Schoharie Valley. There are many points of interest here, including Howe Caverns, which is the second-most visited natural attraction in the state. Schoharie County also contains the infamous Gilboa Dam. We also are fortunate to have Minekill and Max V. Shaul State Parks.Also, the area is rich in history, including many fights in the Revolutionary War. Schoharie County once had three forts. The last remaining one is a museum now, the Old Stone Fort. Famous entrepreneur and founder of the company Westinghouse, George Westinghouse was born in Central Bridge. The largest single-span covered bridge in the world is located in Blenheim. Another nice covered bridge is in Schoharie, just down the street from the Old Stone Fort.There are nice places to eat around the area, like the Alley Cat or the Tory Tavern in Schoharie or M+J's Cafe in Middleburgh. There are nice hotels, like the Super 8 in Cobleskill or the American Hotel in Sharon Springs.
We're convieniently located less than an hour away from Oneonta, Schnectady, and Albany. We're two hours from Binghamton and about three from Plattburgh and New York.So give us a shot, you'll be glad you did.
