Greene County encompasses the northern section of the Catskill Mountains and was named after American Revolutionary War General Nathanael Greene. This rural-feeling county has a population of just 47,931 and is popular for its hiking and skiing options, as well as its waterfalls, like the infamous Kaaterskill Falls. Home to riverside towns like Catskill and Athens, Greene County offers enticing dining and unique shopping opportunities.

The village of Catskill is not only the namesake of the famous mountains range it abuts, but is also widely thought to be the birthplace of a uniquely American art movement. Nestled along the banks of the Hudson River, with the Catskill Creek flowing through it, the village is a classic historic river town. The Victorian storefronts line Main Street with a variety of restaurants, bakeries and boutiques, and along the river’s edge lies the Thomas Cole House, once home to the famous painter and founder of the Hudson River School of Art.
