About DiscoverNYS.com
Welcome to DiscoverNYS.com. Explore New York State and keep feeding your curiosity.
DiscoverNYS.com is a field guide to the places, stories, landscapes, and hidden treasures that make New York State remarkable. Our goal is to feed curiosity, encourage exploration, and help people discover both well-known destinations and the quieter places that are often missed along the way.
Exploring Beyond the Usual Destinations
New York is much more than its largest cities and most famous attractions. Across the state are small communities, historic buildings, scenic overlooks, waterfalls, forests, museums, trails, local businesses, and unexpected landmarks waiting to be explored.
DiscoverNYS.com brings these places together in a way that makes it easier to learn about them, plan a visit, or simply enjoy discovering something new from home.
A Guide Built Around Curiosity
This site is not intended to be just another directory of attractions. Each place has a story, and those stories often connect to the history, geography, industries, people, and traditions of the surrounding region.
We hope every page leads to another question, another destination, or another reason to take the scenic route.
What You Will Discover
- Historic sites and architecture
- Parks, trails, waterfalls, and natural areas

Growing One Discovery at a Time
DiscoverNYS.com will continue to grow as new places are visited, researched, photographed, and shared. Some destinations may be widely known, while others may be a historic marker, an unusual building, a peaceful trail, or a small roadside stop that sparked our curiosity.
Over time, the site will also include articles, themed guides, personal observations, and podcast conversations that explore the stories behind the places.
Part of the Zehr Family of Sites
DiscoverNYS.com is created by Brad Zehr and is part of a growing collection of Zehr websites dedicated to history, creativity, nature, health, craftsmanship, and lifelong learning.
