Tips from locals
It’s a really quick hike and how often do you get to enter a mine? Check out their website as they sometimes host musical artists (the sound inside the mine is magical)
A former cement mine that was used to build some key buildings in NYC, including the pedestal of the Statue of Liberty. Serves now as an underground theater for musical concerts. On top of it, the water is used by a Brooklyn distillery for Bourbon craft. Good to go there with kids.
Hiding down within the Hudson Valley is a piece of unique history that’s open to the public. You won’t need to worry about sneaking around No Trespassing signs to see this incredible place! Grab a flashlight and a friend because you need to see this abandoned mine that will absolutely fascinate you.
Walk through the site of an old cement mine at this historic site (complete with a small museum explaining the history of Widow Jane).
