The village of Piermont offers
visitors a place to find peace, history and art.
Yoga lovers can start their day in
the park.
Katie Stoeckeler, owner of Peace in
Piermont, says she offers classes for adults and children.
“It is yoga, it’s also meditation
and different practices of mindfulness,” Stoeckeler says.
The Piermont Railroad Station was restored in 2006 to resemble
what it looked like when it was first built in 1983.
The train tracks are actually from
the old commuter railroad that spanned from Jersey City to Nyack.
It is now a walking trail known as
the Erie Path.
There is also some art to check out by the Flywheel Park near the
village green.
It stands
just steps from the Hudson River.
Harry Martin, a member of Piermont
Flywheel Gallery, says it has been one the oldest co-op galleries in the entire
area.
Visitors can even take a piece of Piermont back with them with
pieces from nearby artists.
“We encourage people to come
here and buy art because there’s something personal about it and there’s
something really great about buying artwork from a local artist,” Martin says.
