Long before Henry Hudson and his crew anchored the Half Moon and followed the sound of music that led them to a group of little men with bushy beards, gnomes, the forests of the Catskill Mountains were home to these little creatures. Gnomes have a reputation for guarding Earth's treasures - no wonder they are here in the Catskill Mountains, in our back yard on Peekamoose Road, just down the road from the beautiful jewel - the Blue Hole! The Townsman, now over 70 years old, is the local newspaper for Neversink and Denning. Since 2005 The Townsman has been published each week by Gnome Home Inc. in our 'wee' little office in Sundown! Enjoy The Townsman Legacy. You may download copies of The Townsman for reading at your leisure and for a little fun right now – take a virtual tour of The Gnome Home! | ||||||||
The Townsman
This Week's Issue of Ye Olde Tri-Valley Townsman VOL. 16 NO 21 MAY 28 2020 - Click Here KINGSTON, N.Y. - “We are taking extraordinary measures to try and minimize the spread of this dangerous disease and learning that a barbershop has been operating illicitly for weeks with a COVID-19 positive employee is extraordinarily disheartening,” said Dr. Smith. “As much as we would all like to go out and get a professional haircut, this kind of direct contact has the potential to dramatically spread this virus throughout our community and beyond. I urge anyone who has received a haircut at a Kingston barber in the last several weeks to immediately contact their physician or call our hotline to arrange for a diagnostic test.” For additional information about COVID-19, please visit: Ulster County COVID-19 Hotline: 845-443-8888 NYS Coronavirus Information Hotline: 888-364-3065 _________________________
We miss all of you and we hope you are all staying healthy. As many of you know, Governor Cuomo extended NY on PAUSE until May 15th. So, we will continue to be closed until it is safe to re-open. During this time our building has been cleaned and disinfected to keep our patrons safe and healthy when we are able to be in the library again. During the COVID-19 Pandemic, The Townsman will continue to bring our local news to our on-line readers. While we cannot print our weekly publications during this crisis, we have changed the on-line format of the paper to 8 1/2"x11" that can be printed out on a home printer. We encourage people to print out copies of The Townsman and perhaps pass them on (safely) to someone who does not have a computer. Face Masks are desparately needed for our local health care workers. We can all help. Please CLICK HERE for instructions how to make a face mask to be used by our local health care workers during the COVID-19 Pandemic Thank you All and Stay Safe and Stay Well!

The original concept of the Gnome Home was to encourage artists and crafters to have a place where they could show and sell their creations. Over the years it has grown a 'wee' little bit to include antique and vintage items, collectibles, antique and rare books from time-to-time, patterns and instructions and links to stories and other fun things.
