Experience the Hudson River from colonial times to the present. Meet the authors, scholars, and curators who preserve its legacy and tell its story. Learn about the Dutch, slavery, Washington Irving, Hudson River art, the Gilded Age, and the Rockefellers. See how the ecology changed over the centuries and learn about the plans and ideas for the future. Debate the challenges of the new construction. The program combines art, archaeology, ecology, history, literature and provides a testament to the efforts of small rivertowns to maintain their heritage and identity into the 21st century.
