ABOUT THE FRIENDS

Friends of Taconic State Park supports the activities of the Taconic State Park in Copake Falls, New York, with an emphasis on the preservation of the historic Copake Iron Works located within it. We seek to promote the 7,000-plus-acre park’s recreational, historic, educational and cultural resources; advocate for the maintenance and improvement of its facilities and programs; and raise funds to enable those activities. The Friends seek to be a voice for the park by acting as a liaison with governmental bodies, institutions, schools, businesses, regional groups and other organizations of common concern.
