Click on a label to read posts from that part of the world.

Did you know that 2009 is Hudson Valley's 400th anniversary? There are already a multitude of events planned.

The region is home of the largest modern art museum in the world with expansive galleries that comprise 240,000 square feet of exhibition space illuminated by natural light, the Dia:Beacon.

Also, upon completion of its renovation next spring, the world’s largest pedestrian bridge will cross the Hudson River, connecting Highland and Poughkeepsie.

The original site of the Woodstock Festival in Bethel now boasts a 10,000 square feet museum to commemorate this historical event and a permanent outdoors performance venue, all on 2,000 acres of astounding rolling hills.

Aside from its vibrant cultural life, long history, wonderful wineries & scenery, the Hudson Valley has the Shawangunk Range, which is considered one of the premiere rock climbing area in the world. It is at the Mohonk Preserve, adjacent to the Minnewaska State Park, where miles of hiking & carriage roads make it a paradise for outdoor enthusiasts.
