A new trail of historical markers pays tribute to a Jewish vacation hub — and could spur Catskills tourism

Fallsburg Deputy Supervisor Sean Wall-Carty, Marisa Scheinfeld, and Isaac Jeffreys dedicate the Mountain Dale Borscht Belt Marker. This marker stands as a commemoration and educational symbol, shedding light on the historical significance of the Borscht Belt Era within the context of Mountain Dale’s history. 

The famed Borscht Belt era lives on through a meaningful marker project around the Hudson Valley.

Marisa Scheinfeld wants to share the rich Jewish history of the area with a new generation of tourists.
