Where we  are.

Tucked away behind the County Courthouse, up a hill and at the far corner of the Lutheran cemetery, is the Old Lutheran Parsonage, aka the 1743 Palatine House Museum.  As a village with no stop lights, Schoharie could be considered off the beaten path, and the Palatine House is off from that.  Is that problematic?  Not at all.

We love our remoteness, it embodies all that we stand for.  When you leave your car and meander down the path, you will cross a foot bridge over a spring that bubbles from the rock ledge and winds into a creek.   You can enjoy a stroll through the herb gardens, stare in awe at the hops cascading from their 20’ tall poles and visit with scarecrow, Nicholas, as he stands guard in the vegetable garden.   Centuries old pine trees provide peaceful shade while you enjoy a picnic, and the peaceful atmosphere engulfs you. 

Yet there is more……history!
