Stamford Chamber

"The Queen of the Catskills" is the gateway of the Western Catskills. Stamford and the surrounding communities comprise the area of "Utsayantha Country"; so named for the mountain that generates the Princess Utsayantha legend.

Known for its five seasons of fun for everybody; from hang gliding to snowmobiling Stamford has it all. The area has a sport for every season, and the most glorious fall foliage, antiquing, culture and music events, shopping and a host of other sightseeing and of course that down home relaxed atmosphere.

The "Gateway to the Western Catskills" is just a short distance to attractions like the Baseball Hall of Fame, Soccer Hall of Fame, Howe Caverns, golf courses, Hanford Mills Museum, Lansing Manor, County Fairs, Festivals and lots, lots more.

The area has a wide variety of accommodations to suit every budget and taste, from restaurants with fine dining to the most comfortable family friendly establishments!
