 Supporting the growth of tourism helps our tax base. It helps
preserve our historic places. It generates pride in our community
and an appreciation of our community in our children.
The Town of Hurley hosts more potential tourist
destinations and events than most of us know. In addition to
the largest collection
of stone houses in NYS, we are home to the Maverick
Concert Hall,
the Ulster County
Genealogical Society, Stone House Day, the
Hurley Heritage
Society's Corn and Craft Festival, the Rail
Trail,
great fishing at the Ashokan
Reservoir,
and many
antique shops.
In addition, West Hurley has many undiscovered or unpublicized
historic sites. Artists and crafts people abound. The Hurley
Heritage Society
has a wonderful collection and offers interesting and educational
programs.
With minimal effort the tourism opportunities
in town can be further developed, publicized and supported. |
