Area Attractions

Our region of upstate New York is known as Leatherstocking Country, homage to James Fenimore Cooper.
The surrounding area offers a wealth of activities and attractions. Bouckville, five minutes north of town, is an
antiquing center with more than 30 shops.
Hamilton itself is a lovely rural village with a variet of architecture (a self-guided architectural walk is avai-
lable), quite neighborhoods, and small shops. The gorgeous hill countryside surrounding the village is ideal
