There are many hamlets that comprise The Catskills and Callicoon is one of them. Similar to most of the towns nearby, it has a small residential population and a Main Street to provide basic needs to the community. In addition, there are a few restaurants, furnishing stores, a brewery and a charming old theater, which also accommodate the weekenders and visitors. When visiting the area, here are a few landmarks not to miss!
- Villa Roma, one of the famous resorts still standing, is located in Callicoon. It still plays host to many regularly visiting families year round and has even expanded to include a time share designation. With an indoor pool, golf course, spa and full calendar of events including dinner shows, it is a great location for those looking to keep it all under one roof.
- Sullivan County Farmers Market sets up every Sunday from May-November in the heart of town. There you will find many local farmers and artisans selling all kinds of veggies, fruits, honey, bread, woodwork, cheese, eggs, and even coffee! A delightful group of hardworking people who are happy to chit chat and share their knowledge.
- The Callicoon Theater was built in 1948 and is still a classic single-screen movie house that primarily shows independent films. While the 380-seat theater holds onto its 1940's post Art Deco accoutrement style, the projection and sound system is state-of-the-art and can accommodate a wide range of selections.
Callicoon is a special little town worth visiting when you make your way through area. Next up: Jeffersonville.
