Last year an enthusiastic group of volunteers came together to share history and stories from Palenville's past. Restoration work was done on some of the most broken gravestones. This year some additional stones can be repaired using funds donated by The Bank of Greene County and the Palenville Cemetery Association Board.

Donations received from now through July will help us fix more of these gravestones and preserve the memory of Palenville's former citizens. Join us for the Cleanup Day or sign up to be a storyteller during the Cemetery History Walk.

Two dates for two kinds of outdoor fun!

PALENVILLE is an enchanting hamlet at the base of the glorious Kaaterskill Clove, a scenic parting of the mountains lined with countless waterfalls and swimming holes, lush green trees and mossy boulders. ​Another name for Palenville is "the village of falling waters" as described in the legend of Rip Van Winkle, a fictional citizen of the hamlet. ​This neighborhood was portrayed by the landscape painters of the Hudson River School, who stayed here while capturing the ethereal scenery of America's Catskill Mountains.
