If you want to visit the historic sites of New York you will want to travel a little upstate to Newburgh. Newburgh  has the largest historic district in the state. It has beautifully designed planned neighborhoods like Washington Heights and Colonial Terraces. It has a great scenic park in Downing and a great recreational park in Delano Hitch. It has a growing arts community to feed the imagination and a remarkably rich collective of civic improvement organizations in which citizen volunteers keep the city moving ahead.

This magnificent piece of geography called Newburgh is more than "a pleasant place" on which a town was built. What brought others to our city still exists. The rivers, streams, mountain views and a rooted historic feeling.
