I did not get a chance to go into the museum, but what I saw outside was amazing. the scenery and the monument. Was in awe.
love the covered bridge and the little park next to it. great place to take a break and enjoy the view.
Had Lunch at the Old School Restaurant. Food was very good and the atmosphere was outdoorsy with all the stuff wild animals.
My favorite part of the trip was the twisties along the Reservoir and ending with an amazing view from the Shawangunk Ridge Lookout.
