HUDSON VALLEY REGION When the county fair opens in most places, it’s a big deal. But in New York it’s a lot harder to stand out from the crowd.

IN OUR NUMEROUS MUSEUMS, GALLERIES, AND HISTORICAL SITES YOU MIGHT FIND A LEFT- BEHIND INTEREST OR A NEW FOUND INQUISITIVENESS.

JUST BREATHING THE COLUMBIA COUNTY AIR, GAZING AT A SUNSET OR TAKING A LEISURELY DRIVE ALONG ONE OF OUR COUNTRY ROADS COULD TAKE BACK YOUR LIFE FROM THE ORDINARY—AND KEEP YOU COMING BACK.

Imagining History. HUDSON, OLANA, CLERMONT This driving or biking journey on Rte 9G is highlighted by orchards, horse farms and fantastic vistas of the Catskill Mountains. Hudson is known for its unique and varied architecture and antique dealers. The “Main Street USA” ambiance of this city harkens a simpler time and way of life. (Note: In Hudson, Route 9G connects with 3rd Street.) Farther south, you’ll encounter the crown jewel of the Hudson Valley: Frederic Church’s Olana. With the look of a Persian palace, this magnificent mansion overflows with Victorian elegance, fabulous furnishings, and breathtaking paintings by the most famous landscapist of the Hudson River School. Olana is situated four miles south of Hudson atop a huge hill affording some of the Hudson River Valley’s most spectacular scenery. Treat yourself to a guided tour of the villa, or a leisurely picnic, or a stroll down Olana’s lovely trails, yielding unforgettable views up and down the Hudson Valley. Drink in the elegance of a golden age and the history of a courageous few. At the Clermont State Historic Site (off Route 9G in Clermont), you’ll tour the grand 500-acre Hudson River estate, former home to seven generations of the distinguished Livingston family—including its patriarch, Robert Livingston. Take in the stately beauty of family heirlooms...and admire the formal gardens and the lush views of the Hudson as you enjoy a picnic on the grounds along the river. VISITOR’S & DINING GUIDE
