Overview
Explore the Rich History of the Hudson Valley
The Hudson Valley is more than just scenic vistas—it is the birthplace of American history. Go beyond the traditional guidebook to counties nestled along the East and West banks of the majestic Hudson River. From Native American settlements and Dutch colonial roots to the rise of the English, history unfolds at every turn in the river.
Discover Newburgh, where Washington had his longest headquarters of the Revolution. Explore the quaint town of Kingston, home of the state’s first capital. Learn how the pivotal Battle of Saratoga turned the tide of the American Revolution. Admire the artistic heritage of Frederic Church’s Olana, the vast Gilded Age Estates, and the nation’s first presidential library in Hyde Park. Enjoy a day exploring Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate, in Tarrytown or the railroad depot in Peekskill where President-elect Lincoln stopped to speak on the way to his inauguration.
