The
Hudson Valley has the largest
concentration of Nationally recognized
Historic Places of anywhere in the US
? The history and events of the Colonies
in the Hudson Valley
stretch back into the 16th century when
it was the major trade route north into
Canada and west into the deep frontier.
People and places in the Hudson
Valley played pivotal roles
throughout the history of the Colonies
as it unfolded into a new nation, and
right into the 20th century.
In 1996, the Hudson River Valley was
designated as a National Heritage Area
by Congress. In that legislation the
Hudson Valley was described
as the "landscape that defined
America ."
The Hudson Valley
region has played a central role in
shaping the history of the United States
for nearly 400 years. In that time it
has been the location of possibly the
most significant domestic homes
and structures ever conceived and erected
in this nation. The Hudson Valley
gave birth to the Romantic Movement
in domestic landscape and architecture
in the works of AJ Downing, Calvert
Vaux and others. The monied class flocked
up into the Hudson Valley
from New York , building estates, mansions,
and homes of incomparable
beauty in location, landscape and design.
This movement from urban congestion
and strife continues right up to today.
The Hudson Valley continues
to contain the most significant collection
of homes and landscapes
of anywhere in the world.
