2.) Sullivan Catskills Dove Trail
Sullivan County, NY
The Sullivan Catskills Dove Trail is located in Sullivan County, NY. I love driving past these doves throughout this county and finding more along the way.

"commemorates the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Woodstock festival and celebrates its impact on our Sullivan Catskills."
Sullivan Catskills continued to share that this unique trail has over 50 sculptures of doves which may be outside of local businesses and within the area.
These doves are hand painted by professional and local artists from the area, each one is inspired by the 1969 Woodstock Music Festival.
3.) Hippie Muffler Man
Cochecton, NY
Outside of Bethel Woods Center for the Arts, be sure to head right into Cochecton, NY. Along the way, you'll come across the Hippie Muffler Man landmark.
On your right side, you'll see a giant, unique statue, which is how I discovered him.
Roadside America shared that the Hippie Muffler Man,
"grooves near that epicenter of feel-good Flower Power--Woodstock. Actually, he's nowhere near the town of Woodstock, because the iconic 1969 festival was held here, 60 miles southwest in Bethel, on dairy farmland owned by Max Yasgur."
Roadside America mentioned that in the 1960's, the Muffler Man was a "typical Establishment Bunyan" and he held a car muffler while standing in front of a brake and muffler business in Albany, NY. The car's muffler was labeled "Safeway".
During the 1980's, this muffler man was auctioned to a Monticello, NY jeep dealership.
In the 1990's, the Hippie Muffler Man was then moved to an ice cream shop which was later known as Eden Brook Fish Market also in Monticello, NY where he then held a fish as a prop.
It appears that he likes his new, groovy location in Sullivan County, NY, look at him now!
