Present Day
Plans were made to build a hotel on Vroman's nose in the 1930s, but were abandoned. Today, the mount is a prominent feature of Schoharie County. It is emblazoned on many seals and photographs. It has been named as a popular place for hiking, however, camping is not permitted.
Vroman's Nose has also been a windfall for the study of geology in Upstate New York, being a sort of geologic anomaly. Vroman's Nose is considered a treasure and its history is in part maintained by Schoharie County Historian Harold Zoch.

Famous quotes containing the words present and/or day:
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“July 4. Statistics show that we lose more fools on this day than in all the other days of the year put together. This proves, by the number left in stock, that one Fourth of July per year is now inadequate, the country has grown so.”
—Mark Twain [Samuel Langhorne Clemens] (1835–1910)
