Summer in the Catskills was a classic vacation for millions of American Jewish families. Known as the Borscht Belt, the towns of Sullivan County were home to resorts, entertainers, and the ultimate "day camp" for generations.


Dive into the pool. Welcome to day camp. All of this and more are here in Sullivan County: the Borscht Belt. Relive the world of "Dirty Dancing": Sullivan County, the Borscht Belt, the Catskills--all are synonyms for the greatest American Jewish resort area, the playground of about one million visitors a year during its peak from 1920 to 1970. The Sullivan County of Borscht Belt legend really consists of the eastern part of Sullivan County and a bit of southern Ulster County. Here are the large towns of Liberty, Monticello, and Ellenville and the small towns of Woodbourne, Hasbrouck, South Fallsburg, Livingston Manor, Fallsburg, Loch Sheldrake, Greenfield Park, Mountaindale, Accord, Ulster Heights, Kiamesha Lake, Kerhonkson, Swan Lake, Glen Wild, Hurleyville, Ferndale, White Sulphur Springs, Rock Hill, Parksville, Woodridge, and White Lake. In Sullivan County: Borscht Belt, you will find the lost world of the kuchaleins and bungalow colonies and the hotels, great and small. This was a world to be enjoyed, whether swimming in the Neversink River, watching unmatched entertainment, or eating the legendary Borscht Belt meals. Join us on the lawn, on the handball court, or at the Ping-Pong table.

More History from the Mid-Atlantic The Lehigh Valley Railroad established the Bethlehem Iron Company in 1860 along the Lehigh River in South Bethlehem. The Bethlehem Iron Company manufactured the largest steel axle to date to support the first Ferris wheel at the 1893 World's Fair. More than fifty-one million guests visited the fair before it closed forever in 1965. The 1964-1965 New York World's Fair captures the history of this event through vintage photographs, published here for the first time. mages of America: Building Washington National Cathedral divides the 20th century into decades to detail what must be the first published beginning-to-completion photographic record of the construction of a Gothic cathedral. Prince George's County, one of Maryland's most populous counties, has a rich and vibrant history. The Morris Canal, once an important soldier in the American Industrial Revolution, has been gone for most of the 20th century, but its memory lives on in the many photographs, postcards, and other memorabilia that its unique presence inspired. The memorable photographs and detailed captions in Images of America: Dover offer a fascinating look at the nation's first state capital, including its residents, events, farms, and local architecture.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Irwin Richman has assembled more than 200 photographs, postcards, hotel menus, and other memorabilia to tell the story of the Borscht Belt. It is a story that he knows well, as he has spent all or part of 64 summers in Sullivan County, where his family owned a small bungalow colony in Woodbourne. Also the author of The Catskills in Vintage Postcards (Arcadia, 1999), he is a professor of American Studies at the Pennsylvania State University/Harrisburg. In Sullivan County: Borscht Belt, he takes us to the heart of what once was the country's premier Jewish resort area.
