Exploring the arts, entertainment
and heritage of our region.
The
Scene
Weekly
with Mark Werchowski
This week we discover some peaceful retreats from the stress
of the modern world. We visit the Rutger Park mansions in
Utica -although they are in the middle of the city, they feel set
apart and in a different world. Brookwood Garden, just outside
of Cooperstown, also feels light years away from the bustling
village teeming with baseball fans. And atop the rolling hills
of Colgate is a spiritual retreat unlike any in the world.
Thank you for traveling with us,
Lance and Sharry

Road Trip to Hamilton
Hamilton has an active arts community and has many opportunities for local artists to show their work and venues for musicians and actors to perform. The recently renovated Palace Theater is a wonderful venue for local performers as well as internationally renowned artists.

You'll feel like you're in Manhattan when you enter The Palace Theater. This is a great opportunity for
the local community to see great performances. This Fall, Chicago City Limits appears and also "I Love You You're Perfect, Now Change"
crafted fine art and artisan craft work, and offers instruction for children, teens and adults. It is a resource center for artists and artisans and a gathering place for the arts.
Maxwell's Ice Cream & Chocolate is filled with objects from the 40's, 50's and 60's, a time of simpler pleasures. Take a seat at the ice cream bar and be transported back in time.
Barge Canal Coffee Company
The Barge Canal Coffee Co., better known to the Colgate and Hamilton communities as "The Barge," opened in 1996 on Lebanon Street. It was positioned right on the Chenango Canal and you can still see the frames of the original windows through which supplies were loaded and unloaded off of the passing boats. The Barge serves a combination of coffee, hot and cold drinks, sweets, bagels, and entertainment.

Chapel House is a spiritual retreat unlike any other in the world. It provides a meditative environment for the study of religious books, art, and music. There is a library of several thousand
volumes; works of religious art by Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Confucian, Jewish, and Christian artists; a collection of recorded religious music; a chapel; seven rooms for guests; and a dining room where meals are served to resident guests.
Overlooking East Utica, in the center of the city but worlds apart, is the Rutger-Steuben Park Mansions. Two of the buildings were recently purchased by the Landmarks Society of Greater Utica. The dream is have the area become a National Park. CLICK HERE to learn more about these fascinating buildings!
When number 3 was built in 1830 it sat alone, well outside the village of Utica overlooking John Street.
During the summer months downtown Cooperstown is teeming with baseball fans. For peace and quiet escape to Brookwood Garden. It is one of the oldest summer estates on Otsego Lake. Tour the spectacular horticulture of the past and present. Visit the website or call 607-547-2170
