Welcome to the MTHS website |

The Mountain Top Historical Society is dedicated to discovering and preserving the unique and rich history of the Catskill High Peaks. The Society is a not-for-profit organization and maintains a Visitor and Art Trail Center and the Ulster and Delaware train depot (shown above) on its campus in Haines Falls. We are located on scenic Route 23A at the gateway to the Mountain Top and are easily accessible from Exit 20 or 21 of the New York State Thruway.
The Town of Hunter, home to MTHS, has been named a Preserve America Community.

The Visitor and Art Trail Center on Route 23A in Haines Falls will re-open in April. MTHS is participating in Schoharie Watershed Week which will culminate on Saturday, May 22 with the “Spring Fling” event on our Haines Falls Campus. There will be a hike, a walk, an exhibit, a talk and food at 5 p.m. followed by the auction of the "Two Bobs," Bob Gildersleeve and Bob Titus. Their hiking and geological skills will be sold for a one-day hike which will go to the highest bidder. Mark your calendars and stay tuned for more info about this fun event.
