Roxbury

The city of Roxbury, New York, is far from the hustle, bustle, and bright lights of New York City. Situated in the majestic Catskills Mountains, residents note that the city is one of beauty and activity without being overwhelmingly busy. The architectural style absorbs visitors with its visual appeal and eclectic nature. Many buildings take on a Greek inspired aesthetic with a Victorian flair. Buildings along the Main Street of Roxbury serve as a microcosm of this architectural diversity. There is much to do in Roxbury that goes beyond the visual beauty of the city. Guests can enjoy skiing in the mountains, the history of buildings like the Jay Gould Reformed Church and Second Old School Baptist Church, and the commercial stores along the main route. The effort of community leaders in areas of preservation and revitalization have earned Roxbury the title of being an official “Preserve America Community” and has fostered its reputation as a premier tourist destination.
