About Me
- Tom Illari & Matt Testoni
- Tom’s interest in the Catskills dates from his childhood. Through the years he has been an avid student of Catskill history. He has read and researched many books and assembled a regional collection that is a part of that history. As his partner, I share his enthusiasm in learning and appreciating all we can about the Catskills and the people who have lived here and have been a part of its history. We love the still-unspoiled natural beauty of the mountains and crystal-clear waters of its lakes and streams. Life is beautiful here; a sanctuary for us all. Yet, so much about the region, its art and its history is unknown to many. We hope you will visit us often. We are available on-line to answer any questions you may have about our collection, and to share our personal knowledge of each item of interest to you as well as of this great region and its history. We are affiliated as members of The Olana Partnership, Cedar Grove, the home of Thomas Cole, and The Catskill Center for Conservation and Development. Our commitment is to do our part to keeping alive the heritage and spirit of the Catskills.
