America's Greatest Concentration of
Historic Landmarks

The Hudson Valley region has  one of America's  greatest concentration of historic landmarks. More than 80 historic sites  are included in  this frontier for history, art, landscape, industry, conservation and so much more. Kykuit, the Rockefeller estate, Washington Irving's Sunnyside, Philipsburg Manor, Union Church of Pocantico Hills, Van Cortlandt Manor and Montgomery Place are just six of the rich, cultural destinations that begin to tell the story of America's Hudson Valley.

Fall is the Right Time to Visit the
Hudson Valley

The striking foliage of the Hudson Valley makes the perfect backdrop for a visit to the magnificent estates that line the Hudson River, with spectacular views of the Palisades and the Catskill Mountains beyond. Consider a New York Waterway cruise from New York City up the Hudson River to Sleepy Hollow country to see Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate and stained glass windows by Matisse and Chagall at the Union Church of Pocantico Hills, spend the evening at the Castle on the Hudson or the charming Tarrytown House, and continue sightseeing the next day at Washington Irving's Sunnyside and Philipsburg Manor.

Hauntings-on-the-Hudson: Make It A Sleepy Hollow October

Begin with the Great Jack O' Lantern Blaze in October, when Van Cortlandt Manor comes to life by the light of 3,000 artfully-carved jack-o'-lanterns arranged in different scenarios, including a bottom-of-the-sea aquarium and a scarecrow avalanche. Then, over Halloween weekend, just 10 minutes south in Sleepy Hollow, the tale of the headless horseman who rode through the grounds of Philipsburg Manor in The Legend of Sleepy Hollow, written by Washington Irving, is celebrated with the area's most popular Halloween event – Legend Weekend.
