Pawling Historian

Nestled in the foothills of the Berkshires, Pawling is a community of abundance. Country vistas, unique homes and a quaint Village welcome all. Getting here is the easy part. Pawling’s proximity to interstate transportation corridors and home to two Metro-North train stops, provide easy access. The riches of this community, its people, landscape and shops welcome all.

Town residents enjoy the oldest municipality owned golf course in America, a dozen tennis courts, two lakes, over 300 acres of parkland. The Great Swamp, Appalachian Trail and Nature Conservancy offer outdoor enthusiasts opportunities aplenty. In a community steeped in benevolence, dozens of volunteer organizations provide everything from tours of Washington’s headquarters to a staffed Chamber of Commerce Visitors Center.

Rounding out this hidden gem are excellent choices of private and public learning institutions, houses of worship, community theatre, chamber music series and the best Fireman’s Parade and Carnival in the state. Pawling is a compelling, stable community whose welcome mat makes departing nearly impossible.
