LIBERTY, NY — Now in its 21st year, the Magical History Tour will roll out on June 25 to sightsee, museum hop and hear about Sullivan County’s storied past and present. There will be two tours led by Sullivan County Historian John Conway and Liberty/NYC architect Robert Dadras, leaving from and returning to the Liberty Museum & Arts Center, 46 South Main St. The first leaves at 8:30 a.m. (registration begins at 8) and returns at 12:30 p.m., and the second leaves at 1:30 p.m. (registration begins at 1) and returns at 5:30 p.m. Stops this year include the Catskill Fly Fishing Center and Museum in Livingston Manor and the newly renovated O&W Railway Museum in Roscoe.

“This particular itinerary takes us from early farms to the last days of the Borscht Belt,” said Dadras. “We will cover a number of architectural styles, including Colonial, Greek Revival, Italianate Romanesque and Victorian.”

Lunch will be served at the Museum in between the two tours, at which time The Delaware Company will present its annual President’s Award and James W. Burbank Memorial Award.

The cost is $45, which includes the reception and museum admissions. Proceeds benefit The Delaware Company and the Liberty Museum. Checks, made out to The Delaware Company, should be mailed to PO Box 88, Barryville, NY 12719. Registration deadline is June 18.
