It began as a Native-American path, became a Dutch wagon lane, then an English ‘high-way’ and an artery of new America. New York’s oldest road takes us past abandoned fieldstone farmhouses, iconic skyscrapers, pristine churches, fabulous mansions – linked by a chain of timeworn milestones. With more than 75 photographs and maps, ride the old road through these pages or use them to guide and inform your own road trip – through a valley as beautiful as it is rich in American history.
