Glowing fires and tasty fare warm the visitors downstairs as dancing and music fill the ballroom upstairs at Burr Tavern. Outside travelers continue to arrive, securing their horses to the post before going in to share in the homey repast of beefsteak and port on this night in 1820.
Some things have changed since Aaron Burr and his brother built and operated their Tavern along the Catskill Turnpike-- some things haven't. The grog and victuals still bring good cheer, though now travelers hear a new song--the humming and cooing of alpaca nearby. Today, the tavern looks out over picturesque hills and pastures filled with elite animals. HaSu Ranch Alpacas, at Burr Tavern, sits atop a mountain on 126 acres in the beautiful Catskill Mountains. Visitors here are free to wander and explore the many trails that wind through dense woods, over rocky crags and grassy knolls. Every season offers a unique beauty and enjoyment. There's snowshoeing, sledding, skiing and sitting by a fire in the Winter, flower picking, bird watching, hiking and mountain biking from Spring to Fall, and the opportunity to view the most amazing Autumnal Symphony of color.
Our colorful showcase herd of Huacaya and Suri alpacas adds a new chapter to the book of Burr Tavern. Come enjoy the mountains and spend an hour, the day or more. Just three hours from New York City, and an hour from Albany, we'll treat you to the joys of alpaca ownership and good glass of your favorite grog. Contact us today to schedule a visit.
