Let us take you and your group on a guided tour of our latest exhibition, “Catskills Romance,” which explores the passionate courtship rituals, matchmakings, and relationships that unfolded during the golden age of the Catskills resorts and bungalow colonies. Led by one of our entertaining museum historians, your group will enjoy a lively and insightful tour that includes our recreated 1970’s Catskills hotel room and a replica of a 1960’s bungalow colony kitchen, showcasing this classic history in vivid detail.
Beyond the museum, we can work with your group to craft a longer itinerary that captures the rich history and enduring legacy of life in the Catskills. Including:
A visit to a century-old rural synagogue to discover how Jewish farmers played a vital role in the birth of the Borscht Belt.
Lunch or a mid-afternoon snack nearby at Ellenville’s iconic Cohen’s Bakery — a beloved local diner famed for its tuna melts, raisin pumpernickel bread and buttery, sweet rugelach.
Over a Meal: A deep dive into the culinary history of the Borscht Belt with our historian, sharing stories of the region’s remarkable past.
We would love to welcome your group to the museum and provide an unforgettable experience steeped in Borscht Belt history and heritage. Please reach out to us attours@borschtbeltmuseum.org to discuss scheduling, group rates, and itinerary options.
