What's fun is that a town of the same name in Arkansas pronounces it as it looks, "Pow'-keep-see", instead of the NY way, "Puh-kip'-see".

This was one of two I missed, and I should have gotten one of them, but I don't remember ever hearing this town name even though I well remember Woodstock as it was happening.

Champlain is a weird one to include in this list. It is a teeny little place with no significance other than sharing a name with the Lake.

I have a feeling it's on here just for the lake. If you don't know New York towns, you might at least know the lake
