The village of Suffern is a suburban community located right on the New Jersey state line, at the edge of Harriman State Park. The community’s rich history includes hosting several legendary figures of early American history, including George Washington and Alexander Hamilton during the revolutionary period.
Downtown is packed with beautifully-preserved historic architecture, including the iconic Lafayette Theater, which has served as a cultural hub for the community since 1924. The surrounding natural landscape provides terrific scenery and offers endless opportunities to get outdoors and explore—from atop Nordkop Mountain, you can even see the Manhattan skyline, roughly thirty miles away.
