Pratt Rock One of New York's oddest landmarks.
Burial nook is at bottom center.
Pratt ran the biggest shoe leather tannery in the world and loved to promote himself. The story goes that one day in 1843 a jobless man asked Zadock for a handout. Pratt, who believed in workfare not welfare , asked the man what he did for a living. When the man replied that he was a stonecutter, Zadock pointed to the cliff overlooking his 350-acre farm and told him to start carving Zadock's life story. But there is a serpentine path up the hill that allows for close-up inspection and a dizzying view of the Schoharie River below.
