The Town of Liberty covers 80.7 square miles of land in Sullivan County, and is home to a population of 9,885 according to the U.S. Census (2010). The hamlet of Ferndale is home to several sites listed in the National Register of Historic Places:

  • Ferndale School - built ca. 1850 and used for more than 100 years,
  • Manion’s General Store - built between 1915 and 1925, and
  • Shelburne Playhouse - built in 1922.

The Village of Liberty is also located within the town. New York State Routes 17, 52 and 55 all cross through town.

New York State Routes 12, 52, and 55 all cover open stretches of road. In such cases, it is very difficult for a driver to keep track of the speed limit, and easily find themselves facing a costly speeding ticket.
