Take Me Riding in the Car

While the pandemic has made some of the usual summer outings not an option, the Columbia County Historical Society has introduced a new way to get out and about, in the safety of your own car, and enjoy some local lore and history: self-guided road trips. 

The CCHS Drive Through History program is now offering two tours: the Legends & Folklore tour, which explores "the legendary folk tales, strange occurrences and larger-than-life legends that once roamed this region of the Hudson Valley," and the Sacred Spaces tour, which visits the churches and cemeteries of the Roeliff Jansen region of Columbia County.
