Marlborough, NY- County Executive Mike Hein was joined by Director of Ulster County Tourism Rick Remsnyder and many of the local volunteer organizations last evening to highlight the attractions in the Hamlet of Milton, Town of Marlborough.  Some of the organizations the County Executive addressed included the Milton Train Station Foundation, Inc.; the Milton Engine Company; the Hamlet of Milton Association; and the Milton Landing Committee.  He discussed the many attractions found in the Hamlet of Milton and stressed the importance of community volunteerism.

“The Hamlet of Milton is a hidden gem in a County filled with many treasures,” said County Executive Mike Hein.   “There is something for everyone and I encourage residents and visitors alike to experience all that Milton has to offer, whether is visiting the Milton Train Station which is undergoing an incredible rehabilitation; Milton Landing Park where visitors can picnic, hike, camp, kayak, and fish; or the Sarah Hallock Library and their many wonderful programs and events.   Milton is a beautiful place and many great enhancements are being made thanks to the Hamlet of Milton Association, the Milton Engine Company and the many other community organizations and volunteers.  I want to thank the many volunteers that work so tirelessly to make Milton and all of Ulster County the finest place anywhere to live, visit and raise a family.

"The beautification and renovation work in the Hamlet of Milton by businesses and volunteers are truly a testament to the hard word and perseverance of this community," said Ulster County Tourism Director Richard J. Remsnyder. "Located so close to the major tourism attraction The Walkway Over the Hudson, Milton is perfectly positioned to become the gateway to Southern Ulster County.”
