Clermont State Historic Site
Did you know that the geology of Clermont dates back 450 million years? Join professor Robert Titus as he leads us on a geology walk at Clermont State Historic Site. We will examine the bedrock rising east of the mansion and the silt and clay that lies closer to the river--- physical remnants of a time when the site was at the bottom of a marine abyss, like the Marianna Trench! Robert Titus and his wife Johanna are both retired scientists who have become popular science writers, well known throughout the Catskills. The walk will begin at the Visitor Center and cover about 1 and a half miles throughout the park. Please note: The walk will include slight inclines and some uneven surfaces. Please wear comfortable shoes and dress for the weather. Rain or shine.

Clermont State Historic Site
$50 for Friends of Clermont Members, $100 for non-members. Southwood Estate is home to one of the Hudson Valley's most spectacular views, stretching across the Hudson River to the Catskill Mountains, and is part of the original Livingston family estate. Upon Robert R. Livingston's death, his daughter Elizabeth Stevens Livingston inherited Clermont Manor. Her five children inherited portions of Clermont and built manor houses and farms, Southwood being one. After some years of neglect, Beatrice Perry purchased Southwood in 1969, and it has remained in the Perry family since. Enjoy an open house tour with refreshments and bask in the evening views from the expansive porch.

Clermont State Historic Site
Meet at the Visitor Center, Free! Join us at Clermont State Historic Site for a guided landscape tour. On this tour we will look back through generations of the Livingston family and explore how their role as landowners shaped the land and local communities. From the questionable land purchases from Indigenous tribes to enslaved men and tenant farmers tilling the soil, to the Livingston's own gentleman farmers, the relationship with the land and those who worked it changed many times over the past 300 years. Please dress for the weather and wear sturdy shoes. In the event of severe weather this tour will be postponed.
