Description: Covers small towns of Southern Ulster County with stories on local history, and information on events and activities, and businesses you need. The first AboutTown guide was founded three decades ago in New Paltz, Ulster County, as a practical guide for residents and visitors who wished to know more about the area and its communities. In 1987, The Guide expanded its geographic coverage to the Southern Ulster County towns from the Hudson River to the Shawangunk Ridge and from south of Kingston to Milton/Marlboro and Gardiner and The Guide became About Town. In 1988, Vivian Wadlin became the sole publisher and owner. Lisa Gutkin joined her in 2007.
