Get to know Goshen

Named for the biblical land referenced in the Book of Genesis, Goshen is a town and village of nearly 15,000 residents that serves as the seat of Orange County. It’s also home to a handful of hamlets and a portion of Florida, which it shares with the neighboring municipality of Warwick. Goshen’s central business district flanks a classic Main Street, bookended by Route 6 and the c.1838 Goshen Historic Track, a national landmark which holds distinction as America’s oldest continuously-operating horse race circuit. Hambletonian 10, the trotter from whom all Standardbred horses descend, was Goshen celebrity, and his legacy is commemorated at the neighboring Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame. In-town neighborhoods of Painted Ladies and towering steeples fade to newer housing tracks heading out of town, tag-teaming with pockets of unspoiled farmland, rolling hills, and woods.

Living in Orange County

Don’t call this one “the OC.” New York’s Orange County sits in the state’s Mid-Hudson region, bookended by Putnam and Dutchess Counties to the east and the Delaware River to the west. It’s the northern end of the Great Valley formed by the Appalachian Mountains, capped by the Ramapo Mountains as they escalate towards the Catskills. This dramatic landscape proved naturally advantageous in the American Revolution, which led to the founding of the United States Military Academy at West Point. Today, the attractions are anything but singular: Orange County plays host to some of the highest-profile cultural and entertainment destinations in the Hudson Valley, including Storm King Art Center, Woodbury Commons, Angry Orchard Cidery, and the soon-to-open LEGOLAND® New York Resort. Between them lie charming villages, verdant apple orchards, and rural hilltops prime for a socially-distant retreat by choice. I-84, Metro-North’s Port Jervis Line, and Stewart International Airport open gateways to destinations near and far.
