River Stone Manor
The history is a bit hazy, and the river there just west of Scotia bears little resemblance to the “Mighty Mohawk” of the 17th century. Still, the natural beauty lingers on and remains spellbinding, making the River Stone Manor a particularly enchanting place to spend some time. Posted on January 30, 2011.
