Franklin Chthonics (pronounced THAH-niks) is a place where people and the land observe, alter and admire each other. Many traditions have been created and upheld there and I am really thrilled to invite you to take part. It is located at 1904 Bennett Hollow Rd, Franklin, NY; a 3.5 hour drive from NYC.

The Land
200 acres with many groves and fields and two lovely ponds. The Kagan family spends about half the year here and will be staying in the house during this weekend.

The Upper Tent is one camping area with a civil-war style tent on a multi-level platform that will be available to rent this year. In front of it is a stunning pond with floating dock and breathtaking views. The Lower Tent is a 10 minute walk away and has a smaller multi-level platform. There is another pond situated close to this location.

A cabin between the two sites is off-grid, supplied by solar power and filtered pond water. It has a full bath, full kitchen, one queen sized bed, two twin beds and a couch for a 5th sleeper.

The shed contains a queen sized bed and a twin bed, is at the bottom of the hill, on-grid electricity and very close to a full bathroom. Far from camping (20 minute walk), very close to the dining site.

The People
Unlike two years ago, the invite is more open--feel free to share this around on social media!

The Extras
Dogs are allowed but there was a dog fight last time which was scary and sad even though no one got hurt. Please take extra consideration regarding your particular pooch.

If your vehicle has four-wheel drive, you may drive onto and around the property using the roads. Otherwise we’ll help you shlep your gear to your camping spot.

The menu will be prepared in consideration of strict vegans, vegetarians and those with severe food allergies.

If you’re super gung-ho about prepping stuff and want to come up early, HMU @ jonahman3000@gmail.com

Love ya!
