Gathering Ideas for Palenville

We spent three days sitting eating great Griffin House food and talking with wonderful friends in Palenville. Many brought ideas and helped decide what our community wants to do in 2024. THANK YOU to those of you who joined us! Stay tuned for more community meetings, Plant Palenville seed bombs, lively informational speakers, history preservation and more.

We'd love to have you as a volunteer. Send an email and we will work with your schedule and interests. It will be fun!

​You can always reach us by email.

Paypal for Palenville The Hamlet, Inc.
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.
