The
Warrensburgh Bicentennial Mural
was painted in 1976 by the late
Eva Cockcroft, a muralist noted for work in
New York City, New Jersey, southern California,
Germany and Venezuela. It was restored by
artist and scenery painter, Mary Lovendusky
in 2007, with funds raised from the local community
by the
Warrensburgh Historical Society. The mural,
on the side of the building housing the
Warrensburgh Museum of Local History, depicts
the history of Warrensburg from 1800 to 1976.
(The "h" at the end of Warrensburgh was removed at
the request of the U. S. Postal Department in the
late 19th century.)
The Museum, closed for more than six years for
renovation and reorganization by the Society, has
reopened. Currently it is open Saturday, Sunday and
Wednesday. Check the website for hours and
events. |

Country Road
Lodge is located on the Hudson River
at the foot of one of the Three Sisters mountains
(at the center rear of the photo at left), just
three miles from Main Street, Warrensburg. This view
is from Hackensack Mountain, overlooking the town.
Although a busy, year-round community of more than
4,000 residents, Warrensburg's tree-lined streets
blend in with the surrounding countryside. And you
may never notice the Village of Lake George, just 10
minutes away, unless you want to!! |
|

Antique shops abound, as well as
gift shops, clothing, general merchandise, sporting
goods, groceries and meat stores. Plus
comprehensive garden, lumber and hardware stores,
and a Health Center to provide the needs of year
round and seasonal residents. There is even a
recorder and early music store, providing local
instruction as well as materials for the student and
professional alike.
And we have great restaurants,
from local diners and fast-food
outlets to fine dining in restored old homes, and
even in a restored riverside grist mill!
