You have to come and see for yourself the hours of shaping stones with hand tools to be an outdoor art piece that is beautiful to see, walk around to enjoy. There are park benches around where you can sit and enjoy a snack and take in all the different levels of this outdoor artwork. The entry to the park includes a road that you have to share with in/out traffic. Drive slowly and turn out if needed to let the other traffic pass. Be patient and you will enjoy the beautiful outdoors. Cost: $11 online. In person is $1 extra Tip: 1) Purchase tickets online. As we were leaving there was a sign that said park at full capacity and only those with pre-purchased tickets were allowed into the park. 2) Main parking lot can get full fast. It wasn't until after we parked and went to the ticketing office there was a sign for overflow parking. 3) I did not see a bathroom anywhere, so plan accordingly.

Hours vary and can be short during the weekends. Sometimes there are tours. Other times it is open and free (though donations are appreciated for all those starving artists, working hard to take life and from it create lovely culture).

What a great little historic spot tucked along the Hudson River. We were trying to kill time before…read morean afternoon wedding and I came across this place while searching online. This historic site was home to pivotal decisions during the Revolutionary War, made by George Washington himself. The museum/buildings themselves have limited hours (which are listed on the parks website) but we were able to walk the grounds freely which was nice. There are gates/fencing surrounding the site, which were locked as we went around - but toward the opposite side of the site (where I believe their designated parking lot is? We weren't sure but it looked like their lot) there is an opening where you can walk a gravel path that will take you through the site. It was really cool being able to see the buildings here. Even though the park is nestled in a neighborhood/town, I felt pretty immersed in the history just walking along the paths. We got to see the buildings that George Washington was present in, plus the various monuments that were erected on site. The state parks put up informational signs around the area so we could easily read up on the history. It was a really nice way to get even just a taste of history while we were here, which was perfect for our constricted time frame. If I'm ever traveling this way again, I'd definitely try to make it for a tour of the interiors.

They have the old house floor plans and pictures of the family tree. The main house is amazing but access/tour is only the first floor. People seem to complain but honestly it's a small preservation organization that are doing their best to restore and have mainly volunteers working. The grounds are lovely. Spring looks better.

While visiting the area for…read morevalentines weekend with the love of my life we saw a huge sign along the main road welcoming us to the vast array of shops and restaurants Pine Hill offered. Well as we drove down the road from the main road all we saw were run down buildings and a deserted town like something out of an old western, only there were no horse drawn carriages. The saving grace of this small town is this small museum run by an absolutely amazing curator. When we arrived I wasn't even sure if the place was open but there was a huge sign out front that said it was in fact open so we ventured inside and was cheerfully greeted by the curator, an absolutely lovely lady that took her time in explaining the exhibits on display. She expertly knew her history of the items on display exceptionally well. While this museum is small it had two floors of artifacts, articles and historical displays on the bottom floor. The town should be absolutely grateful for Kathleen because had she not been there I would have completely dismissed this place but she truly made the experience and visit so wonderful. Admission is free however I did see a donation box that unfortunately I couldn't contribute to because this day and age I pretty much pay for stuff with my Apple watch (yea I'm real high tech like that) and never really walk around with actual cash. Bring a few bucks & drop that in the donation bin. I'll be sending in a small donation for my visit in the mail.

Every minute was jam packed with information provided by Kathleen Myers, the museum director. She is an amazing advocate for this region and this museum. Her passion and knowledge is infectious! The coolest thing is that as we drove south on our way home, we were able to identify so many of the hamlets that Kathleen had told us about. I definitely hope this historical landmark gets the recognition and funding it deserves.
