If you would like to visit The Old Game Farm, you can sign up on specific weekends (listed on our Facebook 'events' as well as our website).

The Catskill Game Farm closed in 2006 – it was the first privately owned zoo in the United Stated, operational from 1933-2006 and housed over 2,000 animals. Among their collection included Giraffes, Rhinos, Pygmy Hippos, Capybaras and many more. The zoo itself is approximately 150 acres with 3.5 miles of paved walkways and 130 structures.

It is now often visited by people for the sake of nostalgia, urban exploration, photography and/or a place to have a peaceful yet interesting stroll.

You don’t want to miss a chance to tour the famous Hudson Athens Lighthouse!

The Hudson-Athens Lighthouse was built in 1874 and is located in the middle of the Hudson River between the Village of Athens and the City of Hudson. The Lighthouse was built to guide ships safely down the Hudson River. It is still in service to this day.
