Small country hamlet outside of Brewster, New York where me, Hena, and my daughter Brea used to live in the year 1999 … I also lived there for a summer in 1983 while visiting my brother during a summer vacation in high school; It’s a beautiful and serene place. Lovely place to retire, live while working in NYC, be close to hiking trails, the Appalachian Trail, and ski resorts. Art. Antiques. Countryside. Putnam Lake hamlet is located just 6 miles from the Danbury, Connecticut state line. It’s a beautiful area that is great to raise kids in. I have beautiful memories of the area. Below are a couple photos.
