New AHET Trail Website
The Hudson River Valley Greenway has created a new AHET website. Detailed information is still available in two locations:
- Narrative descriptions and an on-line map depicting the AHET trail route, designated parking areas, and nearby attractions is available on the Empire State Trail website. For example, here’s a link to the EST website page for the trail section from Kinderhook to Nassau: https://empiretrail.ny.gov/poughkeepsie-albany/kinderhook-nassau.
- We have created a new AHET page on HRVG’s website: https://hudsongreenway.ny.gov/albany-hudson-electric-trail, which includes "Trail User Information" that includes State Regulations and Policies governing trail use; Safety Tips; an Emergency Response Overview; and responses to Frequently Asked Questions.
A section labeled “History & Interpretation” section allows visitors to download PDF copies of 15 interpretive panels the Greenway has installed along the AHET trail, covering a variety of subjects include the history of the trolley line, villages along the route, Native Americans, and natural history information.
People with specific questions or seeking additional information about the AHET trail can contact the Hudson River Valley Greenway by email at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it..

Shredding Bin is Back!
The County's shredding bin program is back in full swing and the bin is at the Town Hal. It will be in the foyer of the building through June 25th and is available whenever the buiding is open.
It is a secure, locked bin for you to put your personal documents in that will go to a shredding facility. The bin is unlocked at the site and dumped in to a shredder -- no one will ever look at your documents. The Town will receive a certificate of shredding from the company signifying that all documents were destroyed.
