Palenville Cemetery History Walk 2022

Last summer, volunteers gathered  in the late afternoon for the 2nd Annual Cemetery History Walk from 4pm-7pm. Volunteers presented an introduction to the formation of the Cemetery and brief descriptions of our featured Palenville residents. History came alive hearing about their lives in this famous boarding house community at the base of Kaaterskill Clove.

Headstone Cleaning Day at the Palenville Cemetery
 An enthusiastic group of volunteers gathered last summer and learned how to clean and restore historic headstones. Eva Behr shared her knowledge and distributed the supplies to everyone interested in helping. It was an enjoyable morning of spraying, brushing and tending to all the names from Palenville's past

​The event and the cleaning/restoration event were organized by  Palenville The Hamlet, Inc. Restoration supplies and the preservation of a few chosen gravestones are made possible by a grant from The Bank of Greene County and through the efforts of the Palenville Cemetery Association Board and donors like YOU..
