Tri Valley Through Time

The area once associated with the Delaware and Hudson Railroad and farming communities, now finds residents traveling to and from their jobs, thus making a transition to a bedroom community from once busy village life and little farms dotting the hillsides.Time has changed these little towns, villages and hamlets. A number of vacant stores and businesses, waiting for a new buyer to come along, exist up and down Route 7.See how time has expanded college growth; feel the sadness of loss when fire consumes a vintage treasure; and marvel at the second life old buildings have when productive, imaginative people find a new use for them.Give thoughts to visiting the National Shrine of Baseball, or well-known Howe Caverns located in this area.Seek out the bank that was built over the graves of President James A. Garfield’s ancestors and read about the lost grave of a Revolutionary War soldier or wonder how a three-story Masonic building was made into a two-story structure.Enjoy your travels throughout Tri Valley as the area beckons you!
