What makes for a great antique store? Well, whatever it is, Discoveries in Margaretville has it. A wide selection of antiques, unusual jewelry, art, strange unclassfiable stuff, and not one visible ounce of potpourri-these are the things that I appreciate in a place like this. But, Discoveries has another sterling gem: the delightful owner of the place, Francis Kingsley Eichner. Francis is a warm, engaging person, with high energy and a wealth of information on antiques at hand. She designs her own unique jewelry, which she sells in the store, along with other artist's works. When I was in the shop, she had a lot of Mexican art with "Day of the Dead" subject matter. Prices are good, and Francis is open to discussion on price. Talking with her is delightful, as is scratching the head of her large faithful, friendly dog, whose name I have, unfortunately, forgotten. If you are on Main Street in this pretty town, you need to stop by and see her and the store. Even though I didn't buy anything on my visit there, I got a big hug from Francis when I left. It's that kind of place.

We had a great time kayaking and seeing some wildlife. We saw a bald eagle, a blue heron, tadpoles, and many other birds while we were on the water. The kayaks were comfortable. We'll be back if we are ever in the area again.Thank you you for this review. We hope you return and enjoy our Catskill Mountain retreat. We are glad you got to see some of the great bird life that frequents or waters and trails! Best wishes.

Nice slow scenic ride along a branch of the Delaware River. Beautiful range of colors covering the mountains. The Roxbury station "museum" was nothing to talk about, but a crew member gave me a penny the train had flattened, for my daughter. The station at Arkville station has souvenirs. As mentioned we rode in the passenger cars, not the dining car, which weren't luxurious, but it adds to the feeling of a nostalgic train ride through the mountains. We loved it, and would do it again.

The Catskill Center is devoted to helping people enjoy the Catskills, and to helping the Catskills remain an important part of the natural beauty of New York State.
It is open Monday thru Friday 9:30 am to 4:30 pm, Saturdays 10 am to 2pm. The staff is very knowledgeable about the Catskills and its attractions; the store has tons of information about the Catskills, including many free publications, and there are always interesting things on exhibit.
At the moment, we really enjoyed the exhibit current, Function or Form: Utilitarian Art, which will be on display in the Erpf Gallery December 3, 2016 through January 21, 2017. It features beautiful functional items by 17 local artists.
The Center also directs many conservation activities in the area.
