Tri-state residents and visitors gathered in the historic town of Deerpark over the past weekend for a host of entertainment steeped in the founding spirit of America.
New Century, where the America the Beautiful Festival was held, sits along a route connecting the rural town with the nearby city of Port Jervis. This area suffered multiple raids before it was the site of the Battle of Minisink, the only major skirmish in the Upper Delaware River region during the Revolutionary War.
