Our
Village &
Area
Croghan is ideally located between the
Adirondacks,
St. Lawrence River and Lake Ontario where the local folks tend their
businesses
and host many visitors. Productive farms, beautiful churches(pic),
and many rivers and streams (used for fishing and recreation) in the
stunning
foothills of the Adirondack Mountains make up the charming countryside
surrounding the quaint Village of Croghan. |

The character of the
village reminds
one of the traditional American way of life, as people live a much
simpler
life. Visitors browse the local shops as they did in days past,
exchanging
conversation with their friends and neighbors. There is a
traditional
meat market (featuring fresh meats including Croghan Bologna),
a Candy Kitchen (with fine chocolates produced before
your eyes),
an Old Fashioned General Store (with everything from "soup to
nuts")
and many other shops in-between. Visit our Shops
and Businesses. |
| Enjoy the scenic rural
drive while visiting
the myriad of small family manufacturers. Our visitors can not go away
without the purchase of a locally crafted item. Our visitors look
for the areas' "Signature of Pride" brand image ("Made in Lewis
County,
New York") when purchasing items from the local shops and
businesses.
This represents our World-Class Manufacturers, Reputable Merchants,
Competent
Professionals, and our Skilled Workforce. |
