Legendary Rip Van Winkle The story of Rip Van Winkle is a significant part of Greene County’s cultural legacy. The famous short story takes place in the Catskills, set in pre-Revolutionary New York. The story goes that Rip wanders into the mountains one day to escape the nagging of his wife, and discovers a host of men playing nine pins and drinking a “magic potion.” Rip enjoys a nip and soon falls into a deep slumber. When he wakes, his beard is grown long and his rifle is rusty. He soon finds that he has slept for 20 years, long enough to miss the Revolutionary War and his children growing into men and women.

Rip’s tale is commemorated throughout the Great Northern Catskills of Greene County including:

2

• The Rip Van Winkle Wine Festival kicks off each year in May, celebrating the bounty of regional wineries, homemade goods and much more.

• Play the Catskill Nine, a series of golf courses along the Rip Van Winkle Golf Trail offering incredible views of the mountains and valleys.

• Explore the legendary Clove Experience, including the spot where Rip took his marathon nap.

• Hike to the top of Hunter Mountain and discover a larger-than-life sculpture of Rip Van Winkle.

• Rip Van Winkle Brewery proudly brews the finest craft beer from the Land of Rip Van Winkle.

Attractions not to be missed.
