Bus Tour for Newcomers to Discover Newburgh

Warren_House,_Newburgh_NY

Have you been reading Newburgh Restoration but have yet to discover the City of Newburgh because you don’t know where to start? There is an opportunity for you to join a bus tour specially directed towards newcomers where you will learn about Newburgh’s history and meet residents. For people who want to visit from NYC,  the bus will pick up people at the Beacon train station. There will be other events going on in the City, so it will be a great time to see Newburgh. See below for details:

While a potential model for the small walkable city of the 21st century, Newburgh’s roots go back to 1609 when Henry Hudson spotted the verdant setting above the River. A bus tour is the ideal way to orient yourself to the city. Return later to visit Washington’s Headquarters, the Karpeles Museum, and the Crawford House. Tour includes buildings influenced by Andrew Jackson Downing and designed by Calvert Vaux, Frederick Clarke Withers, and A. J. Davis, as well as the Colonial Terraces Design District.

Escorted 90 minute bus tour & lecture of the architectural treasures in Newburgh’s Historic District will feature exclusive cameo presentations by local leaders, residents and experts on Newburgh’s history and architecture.

Sponsored by Newburgh for Newcomers. $15.00 Reservation necessary by September 12th. Register & pay online at http://n4n12550.com

  • This is truly a wonderful opportunity for Newburgh to entertain new residents and businesses. Great efforts being made to bring Newburgh into the radar of so many that are truly happy to find us!

  • This is great news! For those who have heard about the history, seedyness, etc this is your chance to see it all with your own eyes. Affordability and great place to get a business going!!!!!

  • The bus tour fee is actually only 10. Due to the generous sponsorship of the Newburgh for Newcomers organization.

    (There is a round trip ride from Beacon station that is addtl 15, if needed).

  • The Metronorth train leaves GCT 943am, arrives Beacon 1105am. Pickup by bus. Look for person with Green
    Hudson Ramble Tshirt. The tour begins in Newburgh 12 noon and ends 130pm. The bus is then going to make free rounds for those interested in Newburgh open houses. (Others may choose to walk or drive around and explore on their own.) The end of the day gathering will be at Newburgh Brewery at about 5pm. The bus will take people to Beacon for the 712pm that arrives GCT 848pm.

  • Two more reservations so far today, this time from Queens. A lot of NYC people are signed up for this tour.
    The buzz about Newburgh seems to be catching.

    City Historian Mary McTameny is narrating, cameo appearances by Mayor Judy Kennedy who will welcome the vistors, along with brief detailed comments by additional expers on the route.
