Morehouse, New York

Morehouse is a town in Hamilton County, New York, United States.

(Morehouse owned 60,000 acres (240 km2) of wilderness in Hamilton, Herkimer and Saratoga counties, but ultimately ended up dying in a poorhouse.)

One of the most newsworthy events to occur in town was the crash landing of an American Airways Curtis Condor in December 1934 and daring rescue of the crew by locals on snowshoes in the southern end of town.

The western and southern town lines of Morehouse are the border of Herkimer County.

New York State Route 8, an east–west highway in the southern part of the town, is the only significant road in Morehouse, passing through the hamlets of Morehouseville and Hoffmeister.
