About Dover

Dover is a rural Harlem Valley town — dairy farms, the Dover Stone Church caverns, and the hamlets of Dover Plains and Wingdale, with Metro-North's Harlem Line running its length. Housing is modest colonials, farmhouses, and manufactured homes on acreage, among the county's most affordable options for commuters willing to ride the full Harlem Line.
