Welcome to Columbia County  

Village of Friesland We are a growing community of 303 residents who take pride in our community and rural lifestyle. If you have forgotten what it is like to meet someone on the street and receive a friendly smile, you should visit us in Friesland! We are located in the northeastern part of Columbia County, a short mile north of Highway 33 on County Rd EF. On any given day you might see someone driving an antique auto, an Amish horse and buggy, a tractor...or even a snowmobile. In the summer, June through August, you will enjoy our very popular old fashioned band concerts & pie socials, featuring the Friesland Band, held Tuesday evenings at 8 pm in our downtown park. Our Friesland Fireworks draw thousands of patriotic and fun loving folks to town every Fourth of July. We have two village parks for your picnicking & recreational use with shelters & picnic tables. Shop for picnic supplies at our historic downtown grocery store founded over 100 years ago. View great scenery, rumble across wooden bridges, take pictures of rustic country churches, wave to our Amish neighbors, marvel at our sunsets!
