This is a must for anyone who lives in the Town of Bethel or has family roots in the township. Ms. Sheehan did a great job gathering photos from the 1800s to today. The historical facts provide the reader with some well-known facts as well as lesser known ones. Now we know why some of our roads have unusual names. There is a small section dedicated to the Woodstock festival which put Bethel on the map for todays tourists. A great way to end the celebration of the Town of Bethels 200th birthday is to get a copy of this book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. My favorite placeBy William J. WhiteIts so nice to read about a place that I will always consider home. I spent the first 17 summers of my life in and around the Whitelake area; and my parents met at my grandparents bungalow colony-Lapidus Bungalows. I loved the old pictures of Whitelake and many other familiar sites referenced in the book. Even my husband who grew up in the midwest and has never been to the Catskills enjoyed seeing the pictures and reading the book. Thanks Rita for this wonderful read.
