In 1609, Henry Hudson sailed up the great river hat would later bear his name. Lisa Wemett and Terry Mulee have explored both the Upper and Lower Hudson Valley, from the homes of the artists that established the Hudson River School to today's contemporary art centers. Whether it's presidential history you crave, gourmet dining, picturesque mountain views, or rail train adventures, this region of New York State is a destination you will want to visit again and again. REGISTRATION begins on Thursday, April 12 but walk-ins are welcome.
