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 74 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.

Please note: When you see a link that is active, you will be able to click on it and it will take you to a separate website. This is especially important for organizations such as the Town of Neversink and the Town of Denning, as well as other municipalities that are continually providing updated information on COVID-19, closings and postponements, and now, openings, as well as links to forms, new regulations, etc. At this time there may not be a link back to The Townsman. We suggest when you click on a link to either open it in a separate tab or window in the drop down menu or you may use your back button to get back to The Townsman.

We hope this information will be helpful for all who are now reading The Virtual Townsman from computers, cell phones or tablets.

Please stay safe and stay well
