Deposit, Small Town - Big History

By mike.musante
10/4/12 - 10:27 am

The little village of Deposit has often found itself at the crossroads of history. Deposit sits on the western - most bend of the Delaware River. For many years, Native Americans used a portage trail that ran from the site of Deposit west over Tuscarora Mountain to the Susquehanna River at Windsor. This Indian trail was the shortest distance between the two rivers. Years later, the railroad came through Deposit for much the same reason.

In 1835, construction of the Erie Railroad began on the flats one mile southeast of the village. The tracks ran west up Tuscarora Mountain to a pass at the village of Gulf Summit. Because of the steep grades, the Erie railroad used one of the largest steam locomotives ever built as a pusher. Known as the “Matt Shay” No. 5014, a monument to this locomotive sits at the top of the grade in Gulf Summit today. Read more

Vanishing Educational Icons

By mike.musante
9/9/12 - 7:59 pm

Autumn is, of course, a great time to plan a motor trip through the Catskills to enjoy the fall colors. It is also a chance to explore some of the villages, hamlets, and small side valleys of the region. Hidden in these mountains are dozens of examples of that most iconic symbol of American rural education, the one room schoolhouse. Before the automobile, it was necessary that schools be no more than reasonable walking distance for the children living and working on the thousands of farms throughout the Catskills. A great many of these little buildings are lost to history, but a surprising number remain to be discovered and enjoyed on a day’s outing.

Thanks to dozens of advertisers, our excellent freelancers and contributors, and a team of graphics and creative specialists, we've finished the 2013 Catskills Outdoor Guide.

Print copies hit the streets today, just in time for Memorial Day weekend. (Sure, I got soaked by chilly rain as I delivered print editions of the guide this morning, but it's still the official summer kick-off weekend, drizzle be damned.)

And the online version of the guide, which features a huge amount of extended material that we couldn't cram into 40 pages of print, is live. Just a few of the goodies in store: Read more

Boating on Catskills reservoirs in 5 Steps

The reservoirs hold drinking water for eight million people, and New York City's Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is pretty obsessive about keeping them clean. So before you get out on the water, you'll have to jump through a few hoops. You have to have a permit and a steam-cleaned vessel processed by an authorized steam-cleaning vendor. And you must use a DEP-approved launch area for putting in and taking out your boat, which can only be a kayak, canoe, rowboat, scull or sailboat. Read more
