GLEN SPEY, N.Y. – For many years, the Catskill Mountains in Sullivan County, New York, have been a recreation destination for Ukrainian Americans who live on the East Coast of the U.S. and beyond. Soyuzivka Heritage Center in Kerhonkson, Oselia SUM (CYM) in Ellenville, the Grazhda concert hall at Hunter Mountain in Jewett and the former Verkhovyna Mountain View Resort in Glen Spey drew many with special events, festivals and summer camps. Local Ukrainian communities took root with some settling as second homeowners in the area.
