Join Moffat Library, Goshen Library, and Oscar Israelowitz as we explore the rich history and architecture of the Catskills regions. From the first Jewish settlers of New Amsterdam in the 1600s to the grand hotels of the 20th century, the Catskills have been a vibrant haven of New York State. We’ll take a look at its many farms, houses of worship, canals, bridges, railroads, and hotels throughout history.
