Ashokan Center
The Ashokan Center (formerly the Ashokan Field Campus, listed on the National Register of Historic Places (NRHP) as the Ashokan Field Campus Historic District, is a 385 acre outdoor education, conference, and retreat center located in the Catskill Mountains of New York. Schools have explored and been inspired by Ashokan's forests, waterfalls, stream-fed ponds, and open meadows since 1967. Music camps, blacksmithing conferences, and retreat groups have called Ashokan home while schools are not in residence. The name Ashokan means "place of many fishes," or "where rushing waters meet" in the Lenape language.The location was the inspiration for Jay Ungar's song "Ashokan Farewell", which was used as the theme music for PBS's The Civil War. In 2019 it was listed on the NRHP.
