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!
