The Ashokan Center, Where Nature Inspires

Olivebridge, NY, US • 20 - 49 Employees
College/University

The Ashokan Center is an independent nonprofit learning center established in 2008. We welcome school groups for Educational Field Trips, host public community events including festivals and Music & Dance Camps, and rent our facility for private retreats, conferences, and weddings. Our site has been declared an Historic District on the National and State Registers of Historic Places. This land was a favored hunting and fishing ground for the Munsee Indians for generations, and became home to Americans of European descent in the 1730s. The first mill and blacksmith shop in Ulster County were built here by Lemuel Winchell who later constructed Winchell's Inn, Ashokan's historic centerpiece. Our mission is to: Inspire learning and build community through shared experiences in nature, history, music and art
