What it’s like
The place. Claverack is a small town in Columbia County, New York, where the people tend to be older than in most places and nearly everyone owns the home they live in. Incomes run a little below the county's, and a good share of residents hold a four-year degree. Winters are cold, with January highs a little above freezing and lows well below it, and the town sees a fair amount of snow. Summers are warm, and rain and melted snow fall through the year.
Work. Many residents work in schools, hospitals and social care, with others in government, professional and business services, and shops. Among the largest workplaces in Claverack are Pine Haven Nursing & Rehabilitation Center, UPS and Meltz Lumber Co. of Mellenville. Unemployment across Columbia County is low and close to where it stood a year ago, and a good number of residents work from home.
Things to do. A short drive away is Olana State Historic Site, a museum, and Lake Taghkanic State Park, a protected area good for time outdoors. Kinderhook Creek, a river, is also a short drive away. For a longer outing, the Norman Rockwell Museum is a longer drive away.
