harness racing museum & hall of fame印象
-
A great place to visit for anyone who enjoys horses, or even sports in general. There are interactive exhibits which are fun for all ages. If you go in the AM you can go out on the balcony and see horses train- it's like being at the baseball hall of fame and watching a live practice at the same time! Oh, and it's free!

This museum offers great insight into what was the most popular sport in the nation at one time. A true look at real Americana. If you have a short attention span like me, this is a perfect spot. You can see everything in less than an hour but come away with some knowledge of an important part of America's past. If you are in the area this is a must.

Our company used the medium-sized reception area as a site for our holiday party, which took place in an adequate, but undistinguished space which could just have easily been in a small hotel or office building, ore even a Charley Brown's restaurant. The catering was brought in from the outside. The exhibits between the entrance and the room we used have various harness-racing-associated paraphernalia - harnesses, period pictures, etc. This may be very interesting to someone already interested in harness racing as a sport, to us, it was wallpaper.

While motorcycling through upstate New York on a lovely sunny day, and in need of a break, we happened to notice a small sign saying that admission charges were being waived that day at something called the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame. Why not?Entering the lovely building, we were presented with a series of beautiful exhibits, films, and interactive displays. Lovely painting of 19th century horses and drivers adorned the walls. Neither me nor my wife are particular harness racing fans (although I admit to dim memories of standing by the rail of Yonkers Raceway in the late '60's).But like they often say, no experience is needed. It was educational and accessible to those without any background whatsoever, but I could tell that for the serious afficianado the details of horse bloodlines, equipment changes, and historical tracks would have provided a wonderful few hours of exploration.Situated in historic and lovely Goshen NY, it turned out to be a lovely way to spend some interesting time.

If you're wondering where harness racing began, or perhaps you've heard the name Hambletonian, maybe you have a horse crazy child - then you need to visit the Harness Racing Museum & Hall of Fame. Walk through the old stable-turned-museum, and marvel at the stalls and history, look at the sulky carts, try your hand at being a driver by climbing up into the sulky cart behind the fiberglass cart. Don't forget the virtual reality harness race. Step out onto the balcony, and look at the historic track. If you love history and/or horses, you'll enjoy your visit.

I work in the Museum field and this Museum is one of the hidden Gems in Orange County. I highly recommend it to all my friends and guests who visit. We love the IMAX movie and the live events in July!

This musem is lots of fun, very educational, this is history right where it happened. Orange County is the cradle of the trotting horse.

Very nice to check out this place. There is a lot of history here. Nothing fancy, but found it enjoyable for children as well as adults. Have not been to a race yet, but plan on going!

I enjoyed visiting this historic attraction in the village of Goshen NY. Don't leave without experience the theater with 3-D virtual reality harness race. You will feel and see what its like being a jockey. Onsite gift shop. Friendly and attentive staff. Must see...
