Options to hike, fish and play sports around town
Folks can access the Harlem Valley Rail Trail from downtown Millerton. This paved multi-use path stretches over 26 miles across Dutchess and Columbia counties, and has been continuously developed since the 1990s, with more trail extensions underway. There’s also Eddie Collins Memorial Park; the village of Millerton renovated the park’s basketball courts, playground, soccer field, and Little League baseball diamond in 2022. New additions to the park are coming soon, including a five-lane short-course Olympic pool and a pool house, both expected to be completed in time for Millerton’s 175th anniversary in 2026.

Farm stands and boutiques in Millerton, and the Harney & Sons headquarters
Locals have a variety of local farm stands to shop for groceries. Silamar Farm is located along New York state Route 22 and offers fresh seasonal produce, herbs and homemade ice cream. North East Community Center hosts the Millerton Farmers Market, a year-round event for neighbors to browse pasture-raised meats, produce, cheeses and baked goods. “Millerton was a train depot developed in the 1900s, which means that by design, it has a main street with lots of shops and Victorian-era buildings,” says Rebillard. “Now we have a very popular movie theater, a well-thought-out library that’s doing social events, several restaurants and antique shops.” In Millerton, people can also dine at local establishments like Oakhurst Diner, which serves an all-day menu in a retro, ‘50s-inspired dining car building.
