Take a walk back in time to the Van Leuven Cabin and learn what life was like during the 19th century in the Trapps Mountain Hamlet, once home to around sixty families. Hike leader and interpretive guide Richard Feuer will share the history of the land during this two-hour hike. The hike is sure to be entertaining for everyone who loves the Shawangunk Ridge and is curious about the history of settlement in this challenging environment. The program will include Split Rock and the Shongum Path leading back to West Trapps, which involves a moderately strenuous climb uphill. Space is limited and registration is required for this free program.
