What a delightful small diner! We were cruising past Fair Haven when we spotted their sign -- it's…read morenot a big one, BTW -- and stopped in. Good move by us. We enjoyed a very tasty midday breakfast/lunch with good, easy-going service and a distinctly local flavor. But let's get to the food: over-easy eggs cooked just right, homemade and delicious corned beef hash, and a nice-size burger cooked as requested and yummy. Service was quick, the restaurant was clean, and the new guy in the kitchen merits praise for his good work. Our companion diners at the next table looked as if they might have been seated there for decades, savoring their coffee refills and enjoying togetherness. Nice. Wish we had a diner comparable to Wooden Soldier back home. Well worth a visit if you're headed in this direction.

We took an extra long time to decide on food because we were chatting and catching up. The staff were so kind and understanding. When we did finally place an order we both got turkey sandwiches. The turkey is roasted fresh and absolutely incredible. The veggies on the sandwich were nice and fresh as well. It came with chips and sliced pickles. The total for both of our sandwiches was just under $15 including tax! This was an incredible deal. This is a great spot to grab breakfast or lunch. Beyond the food, the service is incredible. I misplaced my sunglasses as I was leaving and could not find them in the booth. My friend and I took a stroll around town for about an hour, and walked back up in front of the wooden soldier where we had parked before leaving town. One of the employees asked if I was the girl who had lost my sunglasses. She let me know that the gentleman who had served us had found them under the booth after we left and had asked to local businesses if they had seen us! She told me to go right back in, even though they had closed and and there was the gentleman who had served us with my sunglasses and a great big smile! These people were the sweetest, this absolutely made my week! Good people, good food, good location. Check it out.

The charm of the inn for me really was the historic features of the building. Built in 1773, the building is a stone structure and really has an old time feel to it. I was surprised by how large and spacious it was, as it does not look big on the outside. Food and service were very good. We were given complementary bread and butter. I ordered the French onion soup and hot turkey sandwich. The French onion soup was one of the best I have tried. I liked the broiled cheese and flavor. Turkey sandwich was quality turkey meat and gravy flavor. I feel you got a lot of food for the price. My husband shared his burger was one of the best he can remember recently. Our table had a view of an outside herb garden. A lovely and memorable dining experience.

With the Americade motorcycle rally underway in town, it was tough to find seating but the staff made it work for me and the tour group that I was traveling with. It's a nice, rustic-looking restaurant. The manager made the rounds to say Hello to us and he made sure that we were doing okay. In the interest of speed, I ordered a salad bar and the soup of the day which was Goulash. It was very good. The salad bar had everything I could possibly want in a salad and it was replenished regularly. The tuna Mac salad there was awesome. The salad bar is $15 if you don't get an entree or appetizer. Perhaps a little steep but I think it might be all-you-can-eat. As a petite person, I probably don't eat enough. From the window, I had a great view of the outlet stores that Lake George is also famous for. I had to fight to the urge to go shopping. Perhaps another day! We had a slight mix-up with the check for our table but the staff took care of the issue quickly and it wasn't a surprise because the place was really packed. Nevertheless, I thought service was really good. Thanks, The Log Jam. You had a log jam of customers but somehow you made it work. We'll be back.

Unfortunately, the peak was cloud covered with breaking sun during our visit. The drive up was scenic, with winding roads offering glimpses of the charming woodland scenes. Once at the top, the Veterans War Memorial Tower added a historical touch to the beauty of the surroundings. The short hike around the summit was peaceful. If you're feeling adventurous, there are longer trails that seemed perfect for a day hike. We didn't have time to tackle them all but definitely plan to return. We hid a coin in a slate rock wall near the Appalachian Trail for our church brother to find should he reach this spot during his early 2025 attempt at traversing the trail. There's a small visitor center however it was closed during our visit. We were unable to grab a quick bite at Bascom Lodge. All in all, Mount Greylock is a must-see if you're in the Berkshires, offering the perfect blend of nature, history, and beauty. Just be sure to bring your camera--the views are unforgettable!

Walking throughout the fort there were games for the kids to play, they tried writing with a qu'il, and were given small wool scraps to take home. We explored the gardens and the kids ran and got all of their energy out in those wide open spaces! There were beautiful apple trees and more buildings to explore. We didn't sign up to do the boat ride but that is available and is a great way to extend your stay at the fort! The staff was all incredibly friendly understanding of children's needs. We couldn't ask for more with a family day out at a historical site! It was such a joy to enjoy! The gift shop had so many gems it could be very easy to end up with super cool toys Tshirts and yummy treats. Drive out slow and be ready to pull over to read the informative stones on the way out. Worth it!! Don't forget to check out mount defiance after visiting (otherwise it's $10 a car to check out) and on your way there there is a park with a beautiful waterfall to look at.

This is a fun little railroad museum describing the history of a five-mile railroad that ran in…read moreSchoharie County which was torn up 80+ years ago. It is small in size and cannot compare with larger train museums, but if you are interested in the history of the area or trains in general you probably will enjoy your visit. They have an authentic railroad combine passenger car on display which originally ran on the line, as well as an old wooden D&H caboose, a flat car loaded with old farm equipment, and a boxcar. Inside the coach are magazines to read, a small Brio train layout for the kids, and a small model railroad to watch with three different track scales (N/HO/O). Inside the larger building is the D&H caboose which you can go in, as well as a recreation of an old workshop and freight house with lots of various period-correct tools and freight to move. The smaller building is the old station house and it has a working telegraph, a recreation of the waiting area inside (with lots of train pictures and train decorations), and some newspaper articles. Sadly, a map showing the route of the railroad and how it fit into the local area was absent. They had an excellent D&H system-wide map but that just showed Schoharie as a dot. Other facilities on the premises include an old water fountain, some barns or mill buildings, and a weigh-house. We didn't go in them except to use the bathroom, but apparently some are open at certain times for public events. The staff were super friendly and knowledgeable. I didn't let on that I was a railroad buff and let the tour guide tell me lots about railroad history. It is a nice, though small, museum. There is no charge to enter, but donations would certainly be welcome. There is enough there for a train fan to be interested in local history, but I am not sure how much kids who just want to "see and play with trains" would get out of it.

When the Albany & Susquehanna Railroad (later Delaware and Hudson Railroad) passed through the northern portion of Schoharie County in 1828 from west to east, through Cobleskill and Central Bridge, the people to the south in the Schoharie Valley thought that the A&S would possibly build a branch south to serve the valley, but the A&S had no such plans. It wasn't until 1865, after the end of the Civil War, that the valley people got together and chartered the Schoharie Valley Railroad. By the next year the railroad had completed 4.2 miles to the town of Schoharie. With no additional funds, the railroad couldn't extend any further. Seeing as how the SV wasn't coming to them, the people in Middleburgh took matters into their own hands and chartered the Middleburgh & Schoharie Railroad in 1867. With connecting railroads, they formed a continuous stretch of nine miles of railroad through the valley. After several rough first years, they got on the right foot and operated together as a single operation, but never consolidating, for many years until the early 1930s. Then the M&S began not paying bills and taxes, and lacked in maintenance, and it's locomotive, built in 1895, was worn out. The SV stopped running to Middleburgh and in 1936 the M&S was closed and torn up. The SV soldiered on, but new paved roads and more trucks in the valley took it's toll and it to closed in 1942.
