Catskill's historic home for the arts
Our mission: Preserve. Protect. Promote.

The Friends of Beattie-Powers Place is dedicated to preserving and protecting the natural beauty and historic integrity of the Beattie-Powers grounds and circa 1840s house, while making it accessible to the public.
In 1990, Mary Deane Beattie bequeathed Beattie-Powers Place to the Village of Catskill "for the benefit of the community." However, she left no endowment for its care.
Beattie-Powers Place fell into disrepair until 2005, when The Friends assumed day-to-day management and financial responsibility for the property, thus relieving village taxpayers of operating costs.
Today, the grounds are a park open to all, and the house has been reimagined as an event space, broadening its role within the community.
As a non-profit, 501(c)(3), your donation helps us to fulfill our mission. Your generous support enables us to not only maintain the house and park, but to help us present a diverse calendar of concerts and lectures, all open to the public for free or at nominal ticket prices.

While the house's in-person events have been modified due to the pandemic, the
park is open every day, sunrise to sunset. Please come visit!
