Explore the Power Of the Past at Hanford Mills Museum
In
the early 1800s in the northwest corner of Delaware County, a land surveyor made a note that a particular spot along Kortright Creek in East Meredith would be a good location for a mill. He was right. Owned for much of its 121-year commercial life by D.J. Hanford and his family, the simple sawmill became a rural industrial complex that included a sawmill, gristmill, feed mill, woodworking shop, and hardware store. In 1898, Hanford Mills provided the town with its first electricity. Through time, the Hanfords also used steam and gasoline engines to power the mill and its electric dynamo. Since 1973, the site has been home to Hanford Mills Museum. Visitors can see the mill and its machines working as they did a century ago. The 8-foot tall Fitz overshot waterwheel continues 4 FALL / WINTER 2019/ 20
to generate the power to run the circular sawmill and historic woodworking machines. A water turbine is the power source for the gristmill. The woodworking machines make shingles, butter tub covers, milk crates, and other wood products. Guided tours, which are offered Wednesday-Sunday, May 15-October 15, convey the ingenuity, entrepreneurship, and innovation of the past. On select days, including the Independence Day Celebration on July 4th and the Dan Rion Memorial Antique Engine Jamboree in September, the mill is operated with steam power--one of the few historic sites in the country to do so.
“It’s a great spot, a great museum, and even a better staff,” says Jason Cooper, who recently visited Hanford Mills. “The waterwheel was fantastic. The staff was incredibly knowledgeable and showed us all kinds of machines and tools. I love that kind of thing, but my kids-not easy to please without either a ride or an ice cream involved--also really learned a lot.” Cooper, who was traveling from Massachusetts back to his home in Pittsburgh, found Hanford Mills by Googling “Attractions Near Me.”

“We are happy to customize tours whenever possible,” explains Hanford Mills Executive Director Liz Callahan. “Some people like to know about how the machines work, others are interested in the Mill business and how it changed over the years, and some want to know about natural resources and sustainability and what lessons can be applied today. We also make sure the tours are engaging for all ages.” In addition to the Mill complex, Hanford Mills Museum includes barns, agricultural and domestic outbuildings, an ice house, and the John Hanford Farmhouse, which recreates home life in 1920. An exhibit “Today’s Schedule Did Not Go According to Plan” recounts the preservation and maintenance work necessary to keep the Mill and its machines in working order. Visitors can

The ice harvested at the festival will be used to make ice cream at the Independence Day Celebration on July 4.

and coopering. As one of the few remaining water- and steam-powered mills in the country, Hanford Mills earned spots on both the National and State Registers of Historic Places.

before, including Theodore, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Juliette Gordon Low and Samuel F.B. Morse. After you explore the bridge, enjoy exploring the park and Hyde Hall. The newest bridge was dedicated earlier this year and is located in Blenheim. The Blenheim bridge is a pedestrian bridge and traverses Schoharie Creek. The original bridge was wiped out during Tropical Storm Irene in 2011 and through a grassroots effort was rebuilt. The original bridge was built in 1855 and was 210 feet long at a cost of $6,000. The
There are 18 covered bridges located in the Catskills and people can visit the oldest bridge in the United States and the newest bridge in New York state. A majority of the bridges are still drivable, however, there are some closed to vehicle traffic and one closed to pedestrian and vehicle traffic. Each county in the Catskills boasts at least one covered bridge except Greene County, so one can pick a county to explore while they hunt for the covered bridge. Covered bridges were built to help increase the lifespan of the wooden bridge. They were built using different kinds of truss styles; the Plank/Town Lattice, King/Queenpost, Howe and Burr. Hyde Hall bridge is located in Glimmerglass State Park near Cooperstown in Otsego County. The 53-foot span was built in 1825 by Cyrenus Clark, Andrew Alden and Lorenzo Bates and is the oldest documented, standing covered bridge in the U.S. The single span structure incorporates the Burr arch design patented in 1817 by Theodore Burr of Torringford, Conn. It is one of three authentic Burr arch truss bridges (the other two being the Perrine’s and Salisbury Center Covered Bridges) in the state. It was originally used as the main way to get to Hyde Hall of the Clarke estate as it crosses Vicky Klukkert/Catskill Country over Shadow Brook. The Blenheim Covered Bridge was reWhen you walk across the built after it was destroyed in 2011 and bridge you can think of the dedicated earlier this year. people who crossed the bridge

and historical markers about the old bridge. Another fairly new bridge is located at the end of Fort Road or Covered Bridge Road in Schoharie. The Schoharie Bridge, also known as Fox Creek Bridge was built in 1982 and is a pedestrian bridge near Lily Park. Nearby is Old Stone Fort, a Revolutionary War fort, a monument and cemetery. Throughout Lily Park there are places to picnic, sit and fish. There is a path connecting Lily Park to Fox Creek Park for more exploration.

roads. The three bridges underwent extensive restoration in the early 2000s. Fitch’s Bridge is located north of the village of Delhi and connects state Route 10 to County Highway 18. Fitch’s Bridge was built in 1870 by James Frazier and James Warren, and was originally placed in the village of Delhi over the west branch of the Delaware river on Kingston Street. It was moved to its current location in 1885. This 113-foot-long, single span structure incorporates the Town lattice truss design. During the 2001 rehabilitation, three diamond-shaped windows were added to each side of the bridge to allow light into the interior. The bridge was also put back to its original length
of 113 feet. A wooden-shingled roof and natural wood siding were also new to the Fitch’s Covered Bridge. The Hamden covered bridge is located on Basin Clove Road in Hamden just off of Route 10. There is a small park with information about the bridge located along Route 10 and across the bridge there is a small park with a boat launch for kayaks and canoes and picnic tables. It is also a popular fishing spot. Built by Robert Murray in 1859, this 128-foot-long, single span structure incorporates the Long truss design. When originally constructed, the Hamden Covered Bridge was a single span, but in the 1940s, a center pier was added for additional support. Rehabilitation of the Hamden Covered Bridge began in the summer of 2000. Decayed bottom chords were replaced with a

single 130-foot glue-laminated chord manufactured by Unadilla Laminated Products in Unadilla, New York. To keep as much of the original Long truss as possible, some truss post members were relocated to accommodate stress levels in different areas of the bridge. The bridge in Downsville is located off of State Route 30/206 in the hamlet of Downsville and, at 174 feet, is the longest covered bridge in Delaware County. It is only open for passenger cars to go across. Next to the bridge, there is a park with a gazebo, picnic tables and grills. Built by Robert Murray in 1854, this 174-footlong, single span structure incorporates the Long truss design with an added Queenpost truss. This truss design is rare to Northeastern covered bridges and it is the
only one in New York state. The other three covered bridges in Delaware County are privately owned and permission is needed to visit them. The four bridges in Sullivan County are a little out of the way, but the drive to them is beautiful in all four seasons. All of the bridges have NYS Path Through History signs pointing the way to them, which is good because some are located off the beaten path. The Beaverkill Bridge is located in Beaverkill and can be accessed from Cat Hollow/Route 206 in Delaware County or from Livingston Manor in Sullivan County. The drive from Cat Hallow/County Route 7/Route 206 turn onto Beaverkill Road. This road turns into Berry Brook Road when you enter Sullivan County.
Follow this road to Beaverkill State Campground and the bridge. From Livingston Manor, follow the signs to Beaverkill State Park, or go west on old Route 17 for about 1.5 miles. Then go north on County Route 179 (Beaverkill Road) for 5 miles, then left on Beaverkill Camp Road for less than one mile bearing right to the bridge. The bridge was built in 1865 by John Davidson. It is a 98-foot-long, single span structure that incorporates the Town lattice truss design. The Beaverkill Covered Bridge is very similar in dimensions and design to other bridges in the Catskill region, all of which feature buttresses.

This bridge isn’t open for vehicle or pedestrian traffic, but is worth the short hike to view the inside. It was built by David Benton, with assistance from John Knight and George Horbeck in 1912.

The Beaverkill Bridge is located near the Beaverkill State Campground.
built in 1846 and uses a Burr truss design. Rosencrans Wood chose locally available raw materials for his late 1840s covered bridge. Fast-setting Rosendale Cement, which had been discovered just decades before in nearby Rosendale/Lawrenceville during the construction of the Delaware & Hudson Canal, and local bluestone were utilized for the abutments, the originals of which are still in place. The bridge is located near State Route 32 on State Route 213 near Rosendale. Forge and Tappan Covered Bridges are located near each other in the Town of Hardenburgh. From State Route 28, take Dry Brook Road in Arkville. The Forge bridge is 7.6 miles from the turn on the right, and the Tappan Bridge is 8.5 miles on the right. Both bridges were built in 1906 by Salem Jerome Moot and both bridges use the Kingpost truss design. Forge bridge is a private bridge and permission to step on the property is required. The Tappan bridge was totally rebuilt in 1985 and today is supported by I-beams. Only part of the framing comes from the original bridge. Past these two bridges sits a modern covered bridge called Myers Bridge. Mill Brook Covered Bridge, formerly
known as Grants Mill Covered Bridge, is also located in the town of Hardenburgh. It was built in 1902 by Edgar and Orrin Marks, and Wesley Alton. It is a 66-footlong, single span structure that incorporates the Town lattice truss design. This bridge was rehabilitated in 1991 by Bob Vredenburgh, great grandson of Edgar Marks, one of the original builders. To assist in the funding of the rehabilitation of this bridge, trunnels were sold to individuals with the stipulation that their names would be imprinted on them. When visiting the bridge, be sure to look for the many names written on the trunnels. Directions to the bridge: From Forge Bridge, go back about 1.5 miles to Mill Brook Road, turn left and travel about 5 miles to the bridge. Or From State Route 28, take the back road on the south side of Pepacton Reservoir to Arena. Turn onto Mill Brook Road and in 6.5 miles, not long after crossing into Ulster County, will be the bridge. Thank you to the New York State Covered Bridge Society for the histories of the bridges listed. For more information about these and other bridges in New York state, visit www.nycoveredbridges.org.

Faith American Brewing Celebrates ‘Soft’ Opening Former Delaware County Dairy Farm Is Home To Tavern 5 years ago, where he began implementing his plan to build a brewery and tavern which was first imagined 15 years ago, he said. The beer ‘Faith American’ is named for his daughter; but more than that, Grammer said, faith has played a large role in his relationship with his wife. The beer reflects the name, he said, in the tradition of American beer-drinking. “It’s refreshing, social, uplifting and a nice way to spend time with friends,” he said of the beer. It’s a traditional ale, he continued, with a bit of a “hoppier” finish that has a crispness to it - a bite. “It’s something I would like to drink after a hard day of work,” he said. Roxbury residents Klaus and Marian Hertler echoed the sentiment.
Lillian Browne/Catskill Country
Sarah Cecce of Delhi deemed Faith American beer as “crisp and clean.”
By Lillian Browne
NEW KINGSTON - Operating with a single-day permit, actor, director and producer Kelsey Grammer personally welcomed more than 200 well-wishers to the soft opening of his summer tavern, Faith American Brewing Co., housed in the garage of a former dairy farm in New Kingston on Wednesday, Sept. 1. Grammer has owned property in Delaware County for 26 years and discovered the abandoned and run-down Ruff Farm approximately
“It’s mild but has a nice flavor,” they agreed. Paul Johnson of Meridale, a former farm equipment salesman and dairy farmer, attended the opening

for nostalgic reasons. The Ruff Farm was a customer in the late 1980s, he said, and he remembers when the farm diversified from cauliflower and cabbage and made a “big push” into traditional dairy farming with a Holstein herd. He was also there for the beer and pronounced it “drinkable,” with a slight affirmative nod of his head and a hinted-at smile. Delaware County, like anyplace in New York, is challenging to open a business, Grammer said. It took 2 1/2 years to work his way through the necessary paperwork. Creating a craft beer in a cottage industry continues to be trendy and fellow craft distillers Todd Pascarella and Brian Mulder of Union Grove Distillery in Arkville were on hand to assist Grammer at the opening by serving beer on tap as a show of support for the industry and support for a new business in Delaware
County. “We are trying to establish a more stable and prosperous overall foundation for the local economy,” Pascarella said. His view is one of complimenting and enhancing the existing market, he said. “I think its a great sign that there are more businesses like this opening locally,” Pascarella continued. “This is a great sign of what’s happening in Delaware County.” It’s all about supporting one another, Pascarella said. “We are very excited about Delaware County’s future.” Outside of craft-brewing and tavern operating, Grammer is shooting film and television programming, as well as producing works.

Urban Pioneers By Laura Wood
What does it mean to have an abundant life? For some it’s family, for others ambition. It can be resources aplenty, or the comfort in a community. Convenience, culture, quiet... Some people end up where they are accidentally. Some stay with a reverence to family legacy. Some migrate, some root, and elevate. All of them are devoted in their own way. The people who make The Catskills their home are steadfast in their affection for it.

Steve Jewitt lived in the city for nearly 25 years before his vision for life started to change. He graduated from NYU, went on to be a musician, and did some accounting on the side to help pay the bills. Eventually, the accounting started to pay off, the burnish of a musician’s life dulling over time. Steve grew up in a small town, not dissimilar to Hamden, New York, but in Vermont. He loves the country, feels comfortable in the country, and imagined going back. “It’s good psychologically, to move somewhere other than where you grew up.”
Soulful and rurally independent hotels and restaurants in the Western Catskills. We believe in simple fun. We believe in campfires & s’mores. We believe in gathering around for a good meal with good company. We believe that the good ole’ days are now.

Rebecca and Matthew Burns with their daughter, Anouk.
He and his now wife, Jessica Ludwicki decided to look for weekend homes. Over the course of their first six months owning their cabin, they went from coming up every other weekend, to every weekend, to coming up even when their cabin was rented and getting a cheap room at the Hamden Inn. That was when they knew they were here to stay. Jessica was armed with a remote job doing corporate presentations and Steve figured that he could make most of the money they needed accounting in the city twice a week. Eventually, he decided on getting his real estate license to work more
here and they sold their cabin and to buy a home with farmland. As residents with a link to the city they have the luxury of transitioning into a self sustaining life out here. They have the leeway to learn how and what they want it to be, without having to sacrifice immersing themselves in the country. Jessica has now started a local business, selling hand-felted bandannas called Love Lamb NY. Steve is able to split his week up with two days in the city, weekends on real estate, and three days satisfying his love for farming. With their land, they have tried different things and enjoyed learning along the way. They started with an orchard. Last year they put up a greenhouse for veggies, and have started growing and selling flowers. Next year, maybe row crops of sunflowers, corn, or oils... “I feel way less lonely here than I ever did in the city,” says Jess. Steve loves the challenge of farming, and trying to find a way to balance doing it in the way he enjoys what he enjoys, and paving a way for it to become a potentially viable business. “Worst case scenario, I have a beautiful orchard in my backyard and fruit to eat for me and my family.”
Philippe Essome (Fifi for short) came to visit friends staying in New York for a year December, 1999 from Burgandy, France. By June he and his girlfriend had moved. Their idea was to work in the restaurant industry for six months to save up some money and start a farm-to-table restaurant back in France. Fifi, even then, had a desire continued on page 24

to be close to nature, grow his own food and learn self-sufficiency. As is common place amidst the churn of urban life, six months became seventeen years. He was the general manager of a popular French bistro in the Lower East Side called Le Père Pinard and headed its wine program. A few years later, he would run a second restaurant for the owners as well. His last venture with them, New York’s first natural wine bar, would propel Fifi into opening his own wine store called Passage de la Fleur, and that, funneled his interest into the import and distribution side of the business. Closely working with the makers of wine, Fifi saw their lives as being similar to what he had wanted for himself but somehow strayed from. With his weekends finally free, he started looking for a country house upstate. A first step back towards what he wanted. He ended up in Delaware County. “The scenery was very much reminding me of the Jura, about an hour from Dijon, France. Green mountains, cows, rivers, and wildlife.” Essome has exciting plans for this region. He is currently in the beginning

stages of reopening a country store in the hamlet of New Kingston, possibly with a wine bar attached. “There’s so many talented farmers right around the corner that you can source all you need to run a restaurant. A micro farm would be great to grow and raise some of what would be needed to run it as well would be a childhood dream come true. Some wilder dream would be to create some kind of co-op, to create a unique cheese that would be made in Delaware County with milk from Delaware County. We all know that the milk farms are struggling, and the value added to their ‘white gold’ by transforming it into cheese could be a huge revival of the area and hopefully the reopening of dairy farms. I’m thinking of something unique like it was done in Italy, in Emilia-Romagna where Parmigiano-Regiano has become a delicacy enjoyed worldwide, or like the Comté, an alpine style cheese made in the Jura that is also renowned and enjoyed worldwide.” Rebecca and Matt Burns are not just urban transplants, they are true explorers. After eight years in New York City together, they spent the next four years traveling and searching for “home.” Rebecca taught for two years in China, Jordan, Rwanda, and

Senegal, then met Matt back in Los Angeles where he had roots in an acting career, and they stayed there for three years. Having their daughter, Anouk, added might to the task of finding the right place to root. They were clear on the fact that Los Angeles wasn’t it. They came back to New York. Rebecca worked for the Ace Hotel Group and Matt took over primary care of Anouk, while still going out on auditions. “Taking a two-month-old out to auditions and leaving her with the casting associate in the hallway while I read, was something that people totally do, but it didn’t feel right to me.” Being a new parent is also a shock to one’s identity. One that begs the question, “Wait. What is success?” These two are not ones to shy away from their own reality. They took the savings they had and set out on a physical journey through a sort of existential crisis. For a year they traveled through Northern California, to the South West and Taos; Colorado to the Heartland to the Great Lakes, into Canada and back down into The Catskills, last August. Rebecca’s longtime friend, Lisa, is co-owner of The Mystic Lodge, a set of teepees with elegantly put-together interiors, a compostable outhouse, and outdoor shower.

They stayed last summer and fall, Rebecca worked at Carver Farrell’s pop-up restaurant, Goldenrod, and Matt helped Clark Sanders build straw bale homes. After being away a bit through a stretch of the winter to visit family members, they came back again last spring. With Carver again, they decided to host open air meals on his property called, The Sweep. Building an outdoor clay oven and setting up another
tent on his land to live in, they spent this last summer preparing inspired meals out in the open for their guests, while twoyear-old Anouk ran free in the fields. With the turning weather, their newest endeavor alongside some other community members, has been the opening and running of a new art gallery in Andes, Les Gitanes.

ate. They also knew that it wouldn’t happen overnight. Dan was able to convince his company to let him work remotely, going into the city only two days a week, and Jenine was hired at Job Corps before they even moved up. They had the cushion of that first year with these jobs to transition and plan. “For so many people, the goal in life feels like it should be to make money, but what about a life that’s structured around spending time with the people you love, doing things that you love?” When they found out they were pregnant with their second child, Dan and Jenine decided that the time was then to make the leap. It has been a year of learning and growing into themselves and their vision. They built out the infrastructure they needed and started to farm vegetables. It was hard work with a newborn, a three-year-old, and a remote job, but they did it. This season they sold some of their produce at Dirty Girl Farm Stand and built a stand of their own on their pr. Jenine also started teaching a gardening class for children. They learned about the science of growing, how to tend to a garden, sowing, transplanting, weeding and then making snacks out of what they harvested.

“I realized this is my strength,” says Jenine. “I like teaching and sharing my knowledge.” In the coming year they will expand their program at Peaks Brook Farm for more age groups and over more seasons. They have already become a school field trip destination in the county. Steve Burnett has been a presence in the Catskills since 1989 when he first bought his property. He came up on the weekends and enjoyed his land but still owned and operated an advertising agency in New York City. He liked running a profitable business that was moral and ethical - it fed him. Upon finding out that he had stage 4 prostate cancer, he felt hurried to start leading a different sort of life. His kids in college, he made the move to full time and a go at farming with his wife Kristy. “We built this from scratch without knowing anything about it. We learned and we made it happen.” Steve’s friends from Iowa thought he was insane to vegetable farm the rocky soil here, as did a lot of locals. Over the years he has learned, tried, and grown. He’s learned how to better manage the soil (heat, drainage), and extended his season with greenhouses. He has transformed into someone
both capable and knowledgeable about a farming life. “I have a love affair with this shire-like place out here.” In 1989, Delaware County felt way too far for most in the city to weekend in, but with remote capabilities and the urban need for escape more urgent, it is now more commonplace. Burnett says he has never felt such community anywhere as he feels it out here. His bout with cancer, an alarming gateway into a new and fulfilling life utterly different from his previous one. Steve Burnett loves farming. “One of the most beautiful parts of our human experience is problem solving, and farmers get to do that on a consistent basis. You get a room of farmers together and they talk about the problems they faced and how they solved them. It’s what lights them up, and you have have a full winter to do it. No other job allows for that kind of time. It is a gift.” Steve and Kristy have started their foray into making, too. They have started a hot sauce business that is showing lots of appeal. “I love the idea of making something like hot sauce in a climate similar to Alaska,” says Burnett, with a sly grin.

La Basse Cour And Kortright Handiworks Offers And Creates Goods From The Land By Rosie Cunningham
SOUTH KORTRIGHT - From land to hand to finished product, La Basse Cour offers a mixed bag of farm to table experiences. The farm, which is owned by Larry Hepner and Diane Frances, practices regenerative methods in harmony with nature - raising vegetables and fruits, sheep, and goats for fiber. La Basse Cour is also a bed and breakfast where guests stay in a 1850s Greek Revival farmhouse. The farm animals are rescues, from the cows, the horses, to the ducks, geese and cats. There is also an on-farm store which offers eggs, vegetables, dairy products, meat, jams, maple products, honey and multiple items made by local artisans. Inside of an old carriage barn, Kortright Handiworks houses a community textile studio which offers workshops and retreats. According to Frances, one of the highlights which the location offers are workshops for jams and crafts. She said just that morning, Julie Rockefeller, who leads knitting classes and uses the wool from

To achieve that, we would have to use a lot of chemicals, which we don’t want to do. Rockefeller uses dandelions, avocado pits, goldenrod, onion skins - “it is amazing, the different colors.” “Once you start this, you start seeing things as you never have before,” said Rockefeller. “You look at the food on your plate differently and things growing on the side of the road differently. You see the colors from stuff that has been dyed - and the different shades of Romney wool have varying shades,” Frances said. “It’s more attractive for me to do the dying process in an ice bath because I don’t need to use the propane - it takes Rosie Cunningham/Catskill Country much less water and no heat,” Julie Rockefeller of Hobart dyes yarn from products said Rockefeller, who shredded derived from the land.

They charge by the pound going in - and not the pound coming out.” Francis pulled out a large bag of fleece, filled to the brim. “This is from one shear,” she explained.
