Goshen

Goshen is a town in Orange County, New York, with Main Street lined by Greek Revival buildings. The area spreads across parks and farmland, giving it a rural character.

The town was founded in 1788 and witnessed the Battle of Minisink in 1779, where local militia fought British and Native American forces. These events shaped the area's early history.

The Goshen Historic Track has been a center of horse racing since 1838 and shapes the town's social life today. Regular racing events draw visitors and remain deeply rooted in how locals see their community.

The Friday Farmers' Market runs from May through November with fresh produce and handmade goods from local vendors. This is the best time to visit if you want to experience the market.

Legoland New York Resort sits within town boundaries, bringing a large family entertainment destination to the rural landscape. The resort adds a modern leisure world to the otherwise countryside setting.
