Esopus...(eee-so-puss)! Hidden jewel of the Hudson Valley

Esopus, NY is about 90 miles north of Manhattan, but worlds away.  It's a beautiful area of mountains that are along side the Hudson River.  I love to bring friends from out of town so see a lot of the great parks in Esopus like Black Creek Preserve...
The famous women's rights and abolitionist Sojourner Truth lived in Esopus her first 32 years, and there is a small memorial park for her on 9W in town.
The writer John Borroughs also lived in Esopus at Slabslides.  Slabsides is a really great place to see and understand Mr. Burrough's inspiration from nature there.

Here is a small photo album about Esopus...
Esopus is a great find for classic Ulster County Real Estate...like this great property...
