Traveling the 70-mile span of the Upper Delaware Scenic Byway provides some amazing opportunities to observe a way of life from earlier times. Remnants of the once busy D&H Canal can be seen in many local communities. Roebling’s Delaware Aqueduct is the nation’s oldest existing wire cable suspension bridge. Built in 1848 by Brooklyn Bridge designer John A. Roebling, the bridge is still in use today where you can cross over the Delaware River to the Zane Grey Museum in Lackawaxen, PA, the former home of the famous western novelist. And architecture found in the many small villages and hamlets dotting the Byway stands as a testament to the rich and proud history of the people of the Upper Delaware Valley.

Zane Grey Museum
Prolific western author Zane Grey (1872-1939) began his career relating stories of his fishing experiences along the Upper Delaware River. He lived in Lackawaxen, PA from 1895 to 1918. Lackawaxen always held a special place in his memories, and was chosen as the site of his final resting place. Today, Grey’s home is preserved by the National Park Service as a part of the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational River.
Grey’s first published article was “A Day on the Delaware,” in Recreationmagazine, May 1902. Zane Grey’s influence and success continued through the height of the Great Depression. He was a prolific writer, publishing one or more western novels every year and a fishing or outdoor adventure book every few years until he died. He left behind more than twenty manuscripts which were released after his death.
Zane Grey died October 23, 1939, at the age of 67. he and his wife Dolly’s ashes are interred in the cemetery near their home in Lackwaxen, fulfilling their wish to rest together beside the Delaware River.

Welcome to the 380-seat Callicoon Theater, a unique and historic country movie theater that recalls the bygone era of the large, single-screen cinema while providing the latest projection and sound quality.
Our Dolby Digital audio components, 19 JBL Professional Loudspeakers and QSC amplifiers mirror the finest audio systems installed in theaters worldwide.
The Callicoon Theater, open year-’round, screens current popular films; alternative and foreign films are screened in a monthly CineArt series from September through June. Whether you visit Callicoon, the pristine Delaware River, local resorts and campsites, or are looking for real estate in the Sullivan County Catskills, stop in and share the special Callicoon Theater experience.
The Callicoon Theater is the oldest continuously operating cinema in Sullivan County. The theater was built in 1948 in Quonset hut design with laminated beams and post-Art Deco accouterments and is the last of a chain of country theaters that dotted the Catskills. In the early 1990s, the Callicoon Theater was refurbished. While projection, sound and air conditioning are now state-of-the-art, the structural integrity and the design and visual flavor of the theater have been retained. The original waterfall curtain remains in place, as do the 1940s post-Art Deco light fixtures, water fountain and Manley popcorn machine. Seats are roomier and offer more leg room. Admission prices also reflect the past, as they are lower than other theaters in the Catskill Region. Special group rates are available.
Residents, second homeowners and visitors appreciate the Callicoon Theater, which has been honored by the U.S. Congress, the New York State Assembly and the Sullivan County Chamber of Commerce. Most importantly, the Callicoon Theater has been honored annually since 1996 as Best Movie Theater in the region by moviegoers just like you.
