Stunning Lower Hudson Valley’s Forgotten Garden Has Dark Past
This may be one of the most beautiful gardens in New York but it was allegedly a hot spot to one of America's most infamous serial killers.
It's summer time and no matter how hot the temperature may be outside Hudson Valley residents will always want to get outside and enjoy all of the beauty the region has to offer. Some parks are so stunning that they become regular stops. Others enjoy discovering new places. A month ago many learned about a gorgeous spot called Ausable Chasm Waterfall and some know it by another name, Rainbow Falls. It's located in Au Sable, New York. Au Sable is French for "of the sand" and the small town was settled in 1975.
