The Bramley Mountain Fire Tower welcomed visitors from around the Catskills, from around the country and even around the world. Some visitors to the tower could pick their house out from the tower windows while others came from as far away as Australia, New Zealand, all over Europe, Japan and South Africa. According to our visitor log, approximately 44% of the visitors came from the Catskills area (mostly Delaware, followed by Otsego, and Ulster counties). 21% come from the downstate metropolitan area and 22% came from nearby but more than 1.5 hours away (Binghamton, Cooperstown, Albany, Pennsylvania). 13% of visitors came from the U.S. outside the metropolitan area, such as California, Illinois, Arizona, and from other countries.
Several school groups, environmental clubs, a boys’ camp and groups from various hiking clubs such as the Susquehanna chapter of the ADK, and the Catskill Mountain Club visited Bramley Mountain Fire Tower during the season.
The Bramley Mountain Fire Tower participated in the Light the Towers event and heard from folks who saw the tower lit from locations around the Delhi/Bovina/Bloomville area. Bramley Tower lighters could see the lights from Mt. Utsayantha and Balsam Lake as well as the lights from the wind turbines in Windsor, NY.
