What is the Hudson River Valley Institute?
As the center for the study of the Hudson River Valley,
the Hudson River Valley Institute (HRVI) at Marist College is the central
hub for information about the region that gives it its name. As an arm
of the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area (HRVNHA), the HRVI
is increasing public awareness of America's First River's significant
role in the history of New York and the United States. For example,
it is leading the HRVNHA's commemoration of the 225th Anniversary of
the American Revolution. HRVI serves heritage tourists, scholars, elementary
and secondary school educators, environmental organizations, the business
community, and the general public seeking to know more about a region
that has been called "the Landscape that defined America."
Its Associates and interns use an interdisciplinary approach to produce
new scholarly research and writing about the region that becomes content
on HRVI's Digital Library. The web site also serves as a portal to other
sources of information from libraries to historical societies to historic
sites. Marist College is fully committed to having the Hudson River
Valley Institute draw people--electronically and physically--from around
the world to the Hudson River Valley to experience its scenic, cultural,
economic, and historic resources.

225th
ANNIVERSARY OF THE FORTRESS OF WEST POINT
Some sixty hardy souls braved the cold on 25 January 2003
to watch re-enactors from the 2nd New York, 5th New York, and 5th Connecticut
regiments venture out from the shores of Constitution Island onto the
frozen Hudson River in commemoration of the historic crossing made to
West Point just 225 years ago.
