Historical Description:                                                                            

“Chartered by the State University of New York Board of Regents, the Museum is a private non-profit institution dedicated to the natural and the cultural history of the Hudson Highlands. About an hour north of New York City, the Highlands area is where the Hudson River cuts through the Appalachian plateau. The Highlands offers dramatic natural beauty, geographic diversity, and historical interest.”
