Accommodations, Parking, Music, & Menu

Accommodations

We recommend our wonderful organizational sponsors The 1850 House Inn & Tavern in Rosendale just seven miles from New Paltz and Americas Best Value Inn of New Paltz at NYS Thruway Exit 18. There are many other hotels and B&Bs in the Hudson Valley region, but please be sure to register early if you’re traveling since we have some of the most beautiful fall foliage in the country!

Parking

Parking will be available in the parking lots on Broadhead Street around the corner from DuBois Fort Visitor Center where the opening reception will be held. Parking will also be available in the parking lot of our dear neighbor the Reformed Church of New Paltz.

Music

Music will be provided by the Abalonemoon Trio.
