Hudson Valley Historic Attractions

History Through the Eyes of Our Ancestors

When Henry Hudson sailed the Half Moon up our river in 1609, he was the first in a long list of remarkable travelers to the Hudson Valley. Since then, the region has been home to presidents, actors, writers, and world leaders. From the commanding United States Military Academy at West Point to the fabulous Great Estates, visitors are amazed by the rich history and culture found in our famous historic attractions and museums.
