Who We Are
THEN
The Three Arrows Co-op, located
in the picturesque Hudson
Valley, was established in 1936 by a group of young, New York
socialists
looking to build a summer 'paradise' away from the hub-bub of urban
life. They pooled resources to begin an intentional
community, and purchased 125 acres on Piano Mountain in Putnam Valley:
the farm
house provided lodging, the barn, a place for social activity, and
Barger Pond, a lake for swimming, boating and socializing. For
more on Three Arrows
history, archives are available at: http://dlib.nyu.edu.
NOW
Initially
bonded by a common ideology, primarily activists in the Jewish labor
movement, Three Arrows, with its 75 home sites, remains progressive and
has evolved over the
decades into an
active, modern co-operative
with its fourth and fifth generations here, as well as some of its
initial founders. Our
newer members and their families represent a wide and diverse group,
which puts new life
into the community. We invite newcomers to browse our houses for sale and our rental units,
which allow prospective members to experience first-hand this
multi-generational, summer cooperative. Come experience Three
Arrows and see if you would like to integrate your world with ours!
