For much of the 20th century, Mount Freedom was a resort community appealing to Jewish vacationers, with as many as 10,000 visitors from New York City flocking to the many hotels and dozens of bungalow colonies in the area. With the increasing ease of highway travel to the larger resorts in the Catskill Mountains and the declining cost of air travel, most of the hotels closed down by the end of the 1970s.[2] [3]
