Dating from the 1830s, the Goshen Historic Track and its museum offer a picture into one of America’s oldest sports. The museum features memorabilia, exhibits, and a harness-racing simulator. A recent addition to Goshen is also the Legoland amusement park. The park features various rides, displays, and other activities all themed on the Lego brand toy building block series. For those looking to enjoy the fall foliage, the Heritage Trail runs through town and allows visitors to bike or hike a scenic route through the Hudson Valley.
