The Taylor–Corwin House, also the Falconer Inn, is a Registered Historic Place in Pine Bush, New York. It is located at 112 Maple Street (NY 302), a few houses south of its intersection with NY 52.It was one of the earliest houses built in what is today Pine Bush, around 1840. Architecturally, it was built in the then-popular Greek Revival style, with some touches of Colonial Revival. In 1871, James Taylor, the local merchant who originally built the house, sold it to farmer John Corwin. Eleven years later, he in turn sold it to Amanda Falconer, who turned it into an inn. It became popular with travelers on the Crawford Railroad, which terminated at Pine Bush, as a place from which they could take in the scenery of the nearby Shawangunk Ridge.Since the demise of the railroad, it has since returned to its original status as a private home. It was added to the National Register in 2005.

The Verkeerder Kill, sometimes Verkeerderkill and locally shortened to Kaidy Kill is an 8-mile-long (13 km) stream in Ulster County, New York, United States. It rises on the Shawangunk Ridge, in the town of Wawarsing, and flows southwards through the town of Shawangunk, toward the Shawangunk Kill, itself a major tributary of the Wallkill River. Ultimately it is a part of the Hudson River's watershed. It is best known for Verkeerder Kill Falls, a 187-foot (57 m) waterfall located on its headwaters just below its source, on the border between the two towns. The falls are a popular hiking destination along the Long Path, a long-distance hiking trail from New York City to the Capital District that traverses the area.

Bruyn Estate at Red Mills Farm (Historic Farmhouse & Guest House) or "Miller's House at Red Mills Farm" is a historic estate and farm located in Shawangunk in Ulster County, New York. Situated on just under 25 acres, Bruyn Estate has two residential dwellings totaling eight bedrooms. One 1835 Greek Revival farmhouse (3BR) on the National Register, and one newly built Log Home (5 BR; all en suite baths) made from salvaged, antique 1850s barns, surrounded by landscaped lawns and outdoor event spaces. It is on the east side of the Shawangunk Kill at the Ulster/Orange Counties line. Wallkill Avenue is north of the building with the Shawangunk Kill east of it. Bruyn Estate is a working farm with alpacas, goats, and chickens on the grounds. All custom-designed interiors and exteriors built and designed by Cristy Lee McGeehan / Cristy Lee Design have featured on Barnwood Builders, Beautiful Destinations, Cabin Chronicles, Cabin Love, Discovery Channel, DIY Network, Domino Magazine, HGTV, iTV, Mansion Global, The New York Times, WSJ, and more! The one half story frame farmhouse with a partially exposed cellar and interior end chimneys was constructed c.1835 on a site overlooking the Shawangunk Kill. The northwest facade of the five-bay center hall structure has 6/6 sashes with plain window heads and sills. The center entry, framed by pilasters which support a full entablature, has three-paned sidelights. Complete with 3BRs upstairs, formal dining, kitchen and office on the first floor, and a karaoke lounge, gym and wine cellar in the basement. Bruyn Estate at Red Mills Farm (Historic Farmhouse) is significant as a distinctive example of Greek Revival style architecture. It is also significant as a surviving component of an industrial complex originating in the eighteenth century. The architectural integrity of the house is embodied in its form, original materials, unique iron grill work, elaborate interior woodwork and door moldings. The farmhouse at Red Mills known as 'Red Mills Farm' was built c.1835 by Roe and Arminda Coleman on this site overlooking the Shawangunk Kill. The early mill site included a sawmill and gristmill which were in proximity to the miller's house (only the miller's house survives). The location allowed the miller a view of mill operations, and the height of the water in the mill could also be monitored. The sawmill and gristmill were destroyed by fire in the mid-twentieth century, leaving only remnants of a dam and mill race channel, and the existing miller's house. (The mill site is located on a separate parcel.) The log guest house is a newly built, design-forward, sumptuous home perfect for guests and entertaining. A large hearth room dominates the first floor, with an open kitchen, dining, and living spaces. Huge master BR with its own entrance on the first floor. Four en suite bedrooms upstairs, each with its own custom design. All contemporary mechanicals, including zoned heating and radiant floors as well as central air. The site was originally owned by the patentee, Abraham Jansen. Roe Coleman purchased the land in 1835 and began construction of the mill buildings and the house. (A date stone set in the garden wall which surrounds the house reads, 'Erected by M. Webb / July 4, 1839'. This may refer to the date the wall was constructed since it does not relate to the house or it may have come from one of the other mill buildings. No documentation has been found to link M. Webb with the site, however.) The site is known as 'Red Mills' and this name has been attributed to the color of the mill buildings. It has also been called 'Green Mills', presumably after a subsequent owner, Russell G. Green. Also on the property is a contributing well.The property is currently owned by Colan and Cristy Lee McGeehan. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.
