MORE RHINEBECK SHEEP & WOOL TIPS
Getting there: Here's a map. Route 9 and 9G will be mobbed, so avoid the northern approach and come in the back way over River Rd and Rhinecliff Rd through the village of Rhinbeck.
Get in free: Volunteer and get an inside view of how Sheep & Wool works.
Where to Stay: Here's a link for help. But best bet may be to try Tivoli, 10 minutes north. Here's more about Tivoli.
