Hey, I added stuff about the YMCA building. It isn't anything super-important, but it is quite a site to see the bats fly out of the chimney in a group at night and/or fly back inside - like something out of a vampire movie. I know this because I'm on the dod=dgeball/kickball team, which I also mentioned. -EdwinAmi — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.82.163.95 (talk) 02:53, 4 June 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New Picture[edit]

Hello! I changed the top picture of Nyack -- I know we can do better than the one I put up, but I feel like in the original picture there it was a very gray day and it wasn't very representative of Nyack's beautiful downtown. If you disagree please feel free to comment here, or if you have a picture that's even better feel free to supplant it. -Jondude11

How could the Ungerground Railroad, that had a stop in Nyack, be omitted? One leg of the many Underground Railroad routes began in Nyack NY and headed north to Albany. The Verplanck mansion at Plum Point in New Windsor was thought to be a safe house. Another route came up from New Jersey into Warwick and then into Chester.

The Rose Hill house in Chester is still standing at the Southwest corner of High Street and Hambletonian. Escaped slaves were hidden in the basement of the house in a secret chamber. Reportedly there was a secret tunnel which led from the basement to the Erie Railroad station on Main Street. On the eastern wall of the basement foundation one can still see a 4 foot wide, circular area patched with stones. The house is on the historic home register and is currently run as a residence by the state. http://www.thecountysbest.com/undergroundrailroad/index.html — Preceding unsigned comment added by 23.24.179.186 (talk) 21:27, 9 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
