The late 19th century was an era of intense change. To escape the whirlwinds of newly booming cities, many would take vacations into the bucolic Catskill Mountains to stay at grand hotels. Learn how these vacationers would get to their destinations, what clothes they would pack, and what activities awaited them. We will also explore attitudes toward vacation at the time, and the context of the era. Come take this fascinating journey into the Catskills of the past with Museum Educator Emma Foster.
