The Hudson River Valley has been described as the "Landscape that Defined America," due not only to its natural history, but to the people, places, and the events that have shaped our region's heritage. We have attempted to organize this heritage under the various "Themes" which appear on the drop down menu above. Like the other sections of our site, this menu is constantly growing; we add new themes as additional research becomes available. We currently offer the following:

• Art
• Architecture
• Civil War
• FDR & Hyde Park
• Landscape Architecture
• Literature
• Music
• Science and the Environment, and
• The American Revolution
