DM Weil Gallery

Available to view Mon - Thurs by appointment. Please call the gallery. At over 3,000 square feet, DM Weil Gallery may be one of the largest modern art galleries in New York's Hudson Valley. Just a short drive from the center of picturesque New Paltz, DM Weil Gallery offers the look and vibe of an exclusive Soho style exhibition space, but with the majestic Shawangunk mountains as a backdrop. The eye-popping abstract creations of acclaimed painter DM Weil -- has been praised by critics and collectors alike, the gallery's mission statement remains, "Why Can't Fine Art Be Fun?".

Do not miss DM Weil gallery if you are in the New Paltz area! Donna's art is absolutely stunning--vibrant, colorful, joyful, radiating light. Donna works on premises and it is so special to hear her talk about her wonderful art on display. Donna, Sammy, and Ken are so sweet and welcoming, as well as incredibly knowledgeable with regards to both the art and the many printing services they do in house. This was a wonderful place to spend the afternoon, not to mention I picked up the most unique hand-painted overalls!

Volunteer Fireman's Hall & Museum of Kingston

Reviewed By tremp160 - Kingston, United States

The building itself, authentic, maintained and staff by volunteers is worth a visit - but the collection, the collection is noteworthy as well. Mission furniture in the meeting room is easily over a hundred years old, records of service, awards, sleeping quarters intact, the pole still in place - it's as if the firefighters of 1900 just left the building to answer a call and will be back in a few minutes. One of the few intact firehouse museums anywhere.

The Den of Marbletown

Reviewed By suedE4771ZS - Albany, United States

My best friend and I just had a wonderful time at The Den of Marbletown. It’s a fantastic Steiff teddy bear museum and cafe. They have an amazing number of Steiff teddy bears and animals, a room full of Madame Alexander dolls, a collection of Barbies, a tempting gift shop and a cafe with yummy treats. All of this is nestled in a historic farmhouse. We had a pleasant ride from Albany NY and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Interesting and fun for all ages. You’ll come away with a big smile on your face!

Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History

Explore the past, present, and future of Historic Reher's Bakery. Visit the Retail Shop ca 1959 to learn about Sunday mornings mid-century, when Kingstonians converged here to pick up rolls for breakfast on their way home from church. In the oven room, explore historic bakery equipment and hear how Frank Reher and his six children ran this business for 80 years.

Reviewed By U1805SBcaitlin

This resonant space is remarkably well-preserved, down to the outlines of the rolls that were baked day after day for decades. As a historic site it hasn't been made in any way hokey -- instead there's a Secret Garden quality to it, and you feel lucky to be let in to a place where the past feels tactile and present. Our tour was intelligent, engaging, and delicious (I don't know if every visit features fresh-baked bread, but I appreciated that multi-sensory touch!). I've visited the Hudson River Valley area several times, mainly to see art and be in nature, and I'm grateful to the Reher Center for giving me a much better understanding of the whole region's history, including the stories of immigrants and they communities they created. Not many historic sites manage to trace both micro and macro histories in this way -- brava!

Opus 40

This sculpture park was intended to house the works of the designer, but the setting itself became the artist's masterwork. It is possible to visit by appointment on non-open days.

Reviewed By DebbieC867 - Silver Spring, United States

It was part of my Month long fall color trip to New England area and I was looking for something to do while in Poughkeepsie NY. Opus 40 is amazing place lots of hard work put into build the stone walls and the monument by oneman! The place is not very big but this is the place where you can take a walk and has picnic table so you can pack your picnic and enjoy.
