The serene hamlet of Putnam Lake, New York | Lake frozen across the street from our cottage |
Small country hamlet outside of Brewster, New York where me, Hena, and my daughter Brea used to live ... I also lived there for a summer in 1983 while visiting my brother during a summer vacation in high school; Putnam Lake hamlet is located just 6 miles from the Danbury, Connecticut state line. It's a beautiful area that is great to raise kids in. I have beautiful memories of the area. Here are a couple photos.
