Sullivan Catskills Dove Trail
The Sullivan Catskills Dove Trail© commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Woodstock festival and celebrates its impact on our Sullivan Catskills. It’s a collection of 50 dove sculptures perched in villages, towns, and at several tourism businesses. Each permanently mounted dove is hand-painted by a professional local artist and inspired by the legendary event held here in 1969.

📣 History lovers! Last night we celebrated another milestone in Loch Sheldrake as the @borschtbelthistoricalmarkers unveiled their 12th marker celebrating the area’s resort history.
So many people shared stories about the old hotels and their families, including Hayley Saymen from @stagedoormanor, a prestigious acting camp just up the road from town.
Stagedoor Manor used to be the Karmel Hotel in the Borscht Belt days and over the last 50 years as a camp, it has hosted some amazing talent including Natalie Portman, Robert Downey Jr., Jon Cryer, Lea Michele, and Sebastian Stan.
There are three more markers coming this summer:
• August 23 - Woodbourne at 9pm
• October 5 - Parksville at 2pm
• October 18 - Livingston Manor at 2pm
