I had been to Howe Caverns in my teens, and then again in my early 20s so really, I never thought I’d need to see another cave in the area. You’ve seen one you’ve seen them all, right? Howe Caverns is beautiful to be sure, I loved the boat ride, […]

A quiet preserve filled with alluring natural sights and you may just have it all to yourself. The Schoharie Creek Preserve [Intersection of Butler Rd + Burtonsville Rd, Burtonsville NY, turn right on Butler RD and into parking lot on left] is hidden away off of winding roads. We reached […]
I love a side of history with my nature. Schoharie Crossing State Historic Site [129 Schoharie St, Fort Hunter, NY 12069] has great hiking, but also works towards preserving the Erie Canal. There is a visitor’s center open from May through October that speaks to the impacts of the Erie […]

Schoharie County has a plethora of lovely spots to visit. A really great museum is the Blenheim-Gilboa Visitors Center. It has fun interactive science exhibits which show you how energy is created. Next door is the Lansing Manor where you can take a free tour of the estate built in […]
Ever been to Schoharie County? I feel like a lot of people from Albany haven’t, but they’re missing out. My ideal daytrip would begin in Sharon Springs and include breakfast at the American Hotel. I had their delicious and unique corncakes, and enjoyed eating them in a beautiful and historic […]
Ever just want to get in your car and cruise? Let’s just say you have an electric car for my mental sake, we’re not intentionally trying to destroy the environment here. A beautiful sunny day, maybe a bit cold, you don’t want to be directly outside…you’re bored, you want to […]
