Trips

There will be a New Trip Wednesday, July 13, to Piermont, NY.

Piermont is a quaint village on the Hudson River, just south of the Mario Cuomo Bridge, with an interesting history and wide river views. Walking tour with a local guide (your trip leader). See Flywheel Park, early 1800s houses, a hand-cranked drawbridge, salt marsh, and the pier. Hear the history of Piermont. Visit unique shops and art galleries. On your own, if you wish, walk on the pier, part way or to the end (two-mile round trip). Have lunch at one of many fine restaurants, or picnic on the pier. (See list of restaurants and picnic areas in Trips Book; check restaurant websites for menus and outdoor seating).


There is a Short Wait List for the trip to Storm King Arts Center on Wednesday, June 29. Storm King has outstanding contemporary and modern art with large-and small-scale outdoor sculptures. Artists include Alexander Calder, Mark di Suvero, David Smith, Isamu Noguchi, Richard Serra, and many others. A tram runs continuously all day.

Sign up. There are frequently cancellations, and you might get a spot on this exciting trip.
