Rip's Retreat
Circa 1960
Size: 4 feet by 9 1/2 inches by 1/2 inch
Rip's Retreat was located by North Lake Campground in the Catskills in the late 1950's-early 1960's. It was themed around the story of Rip Van Winkle's trip to the Catskills, where he slept for 20 years.
The attraction was a series of several small buildings, each dedicated to some sort of craft: glass-blowing, candle-dipping, wood-carving, etc., and an artisan was in each building demonstrating the trade. Some hands-on activities were also available. There was also an outdoor puppet show re-enacting the story of Rip Van Winkle. You could also take a wagon ride down part of the mountain on an old dirt road. The place was demolished and the area is now part of the North Lake State Park/Campsite.
