Directions:
.
FROM KINGSTON AREA-take Washington Avenue from the Thruway circle to Rt. 32. Turn right, taking Rt. 32 South for about two or three miles. You will be coming up a hill with a double lane going South. At the top of the hill, when the two lanes merge into one, turn left. That will be Main Street, Bloomington.
.
You’ll come up behind the church where you’ll see the cemetary. Turn right just before the cemetary (after the Post Office) and you’ll see a parking lot on the right. Otherwise, swing around the cemetary to the front of the church.
.
FROM NEW PALTZ-take 32 North for about nine miles. You’ll pass over the Wallkill River and Rondout Creek. About three miles North of the Rondout Creek (after passing over the Thruway), turn right between the Bloomington Fire Co. sign and United Reformed Church sign. Go to the end of the road and turn left. You can’t miss the church after that.
