All About Millerton, NY!

The downtown for a “city” of villages, Millerton still reflects its origins as a 19th railroad hub for rural New York. Situated at the intersection of Connecticut, Massachusetts and New York, Millerton is bordered by the Taconic Mountains to the east and the foothills of the Hudson to the west. Now a cosmopolitan village, Millerton sports an art cinema theater, restaurants, antique shops, art galleries and entrepreneurial services.

Historic Millerton

Millerton, founded in 1851

Millerton, founded in 1851, first became a center for commerce and culture when three railroads met here in the mid-19th century. Much of that era’s architecture has been preserved and Millerton was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2010.

One of the original three rail lines has been transformed into the Harlem Valley Rail Trail

The railroads were gone by 1980 but by then Millerton had expanded from a business center for farmers to a tourist destination. One of the original three rail lines has been transformed into the Harlem Valley Rail Trail, a 16 mile bike and walking trail, which bisects the village and is part of the Hudson River Valley Greenway.
