We live in one of the most beautiful areas of the United States. When you come to visit us, you'll see. It's a land of fertile rolling farmland, distant rural views, excellent roads (every day), distinct seasons, a plethora of cultural events (many of them free), small schools of which we have reason to be proud, access to cities and colleges, surprisingly few insects, very low crime, small churches of every denomination, and, above all, friendly and helpful people. You will find that we are pretty much middle class out here. Yes, there are some rich and poor, but we all live together, not separately. That means no developments, no condos, and no track homes. MacMansions are few and you won’t find former cornfields growing “little boxes”. There is good fishing and hunting and the US’s largest park, the Adirondacks, is literally within sight - Fulton County's 44 lakes are within it - yet we can reach an urban area in less than an hour, from anywhere we service. There are many communities of Amish which offer unique services.
The pages here are not a complete or exhaustive list. We did not attempt to mention the many festivals and activities that towns and villages host each year. There are many golf courses and the Erie Canal Rail/Trail and the scenic Mohawk River runs through the center of both Herkimer and Montgomery counties. It is a designated Natural Landmark, administered by the National Park Service. Then there are the large museums in Cooperstown and farmstands in the "Breadbasket of the Revolution" All are within a half hour’s drive or less. You will find much here to keep you active. Two urban areas, Albany and Utica/Rome, are an hour’s drive. Amsterdam, Schenectady, Rennsalear, and Utica have passenger train stations.
