Annual Catskill Conquest Rally

In 1903, the National Association of Automobile Manufacturers sponsored an 800-mile endurance run from Weehawken, NJ to Pittsburgh, PA. Thirty-four competing automobiles departed on October 7, 1903 and traveled up the Hudson Valley and then through the Catskill Mountains. Reaching Delhi on the second day in a driving rain, they continued on through Franklin and then to Binghamton and beyond. Since 2017, drivers have been commemorating this historic event with a tradition of their own, The Annual Catskill Conquest Rally! This year’s event takes place on Saturday, September 20th, and starts at the Catskill Visitor Center in Mount Tremper, NY, and ends at the Hanford Mills Museum.
