Part 4 - Riparius, New York

I continued down the road along the Hudson River and came to a pair of stone pillars with a sign telling me I was entering the Riverside Institute. I later checked Google but found no explanation of what it was. My guess is that it's a vacation home owner's association:

From what I could see, Riverside Institute appeared to be a village of summer cottages within the village of Riparius, all stretched out along the scenic Hudson River:

There were small, unpaved side streets:

And a baseball field:

A playground where I got a nice look down yet another side street:

The Alan F. Bain Memorial Museum. I'll bet I could have found out all about the Riverside Institute if only it had been open:

There were lovely small homes or summer camps along unpaved streets deep in the Adirondack forest. I found it altogether charming:

This appeared to be a headquarters of some kind for the Riverside Institute, but I was only guessing. Notice the Hudson River right behind it:

Also right on the river was the William N. Burnett Memorial Recreation Hall, 1937. It apparently had a major fireplace inside:

There were more homes or summer cottages on the river:

I traveled back up the road toward the highway. That's Route 8 crossing the Hudson River up ahead and the Riverside Train Station on the banks across the river:

As I headed out of Riparius to continue my journey to the farm, I snapped one last photo of this large home. We still had many miles to go and I'd spent a lot of time driving around Riparius:
