Thank you for stopping by. Our names are Tom and Matt. We are pleased to welcome you to our on-line store! Our goal is to help preserve the history and memorabilia of the Catskills, by making available our collection of postcards, books and prints of the area… many items such as photographs of the grand hotels and railroad timetables that were part of the daily existence in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries. Tom’s interest in the Catskills dates from his childhood. Through the years he has researched many books and assembled a regional collection that is a part of that history.
As his partner, I share his enthusiasm in learning and appreciating all we can about the Catskills and the people who have lived here and have been a part of its history. We love the still-unspoiled natural beauty of the mountains and crystal-clear waters of its lakes and streams. Life is beautiful here; a sanctuary for us all. Yet, so much about the region, its art and its history is unknown to many.
We hope you will visit us often. We are available on-line to answer any questions you may have about our collection, and to share our personal knowledge of each item of interest to you as well as of this great region and its history. Catskill Collectibles and Delectables is based in the beautiful and historic hamlet of Palenville in the Northern Catskills of upstate New York.
We are affiliated as members of The Olana Partnership, Cedar Grove, the home of Thomas Cole, and The Catskill Center for Conservation and Development. We are also proud members of the Greene County Council on the Arts. Our commitment is to do our part to keeping alive the heritage and spirit of the Catskills.
 We hope to see you again soon!
