The 19th-century artists hiked, sketched and painted in the region surrounding Thomas Cole’s home in Catskill and Frederic Church’s home, Olana, as well as sites throughout the Hudson Valley and beyond. Many of these views are spectacularly preserved and offer a dramatic window into the past. More information about the Hudson River School Art Trail can be found at: www.hudsonriverschool.org.
