No matter where you go in Montgomery County, the river is always there, the backdrop of all activities in the Mohawk Valley, the touchstone to which we always return. When you visit, put the future in perspective by thinking about the past-about the history of this region so rich in people, ideas, and dreams. The past, after all, has made our present what it is, with its rich heritage of cultures, its broad commercial and industrial base, the extraordinary architectural legacy, and the deep attachment to the land.

In the early 19th century, even when leisure travel was a luxury, the Mohawk Valley was a favorite destination. And so it is today. Worth a visit, whether you're near or far.
