These are a few old pictures of places often visited when visiting
Ellenville because of there uniqueness and beauty of the time.
Cragsmoor, NY
Located in Ulster County, NY, Cragsmoor first came into existence in the early 1870's when
Edward Lamson Henry, William H. Beard, J.G. Brown, Mrs. Eliza Pratt Greatorex and her two
artist daughters, Kathleen Honora Greatorex and Eleanor Gretorex, discovered the enchantments
held by the plateau in the Shawangunk Mountains. E.L. Henry was the first artist to build a summer
home here, and Mrs. Henry christened the house NA-PEE-NIA, a name from the Lenape Indians.
Word quickly spread to other artists about Cragsmoor and its wonders, though the colony did not
attract the traditional struggling artist with little or no recognition. On the contrary, artists of note
who were already prosperous sought to make their homes among the splendor.
