The Catskill Mountain House and The World Around is the fascinating story of America's first mountain-top grand hotel and resort. The 80 minute documentary tells the early history of the Catskill Mountains, the railroad and steamboat empires, Hudson River School Art, poetry and literature that helped create America's first vacation land.
The film documents the rise of competing hotels like the massive Hotel Kaaterskill, the beautiful Laurel House, the Grand Hotel and Woodstock Overlook Mountain House. It features world-famous landmarks like Kaaterskill Falls, and Otis Elevated Railway.

  • I have stood on this very spot and lived very close to the Catskill Mountain House back in the early 60's.

  • Wow. This is so wonderful.
