About Hudson (New York)
Hudson is an important city in the Hudson Valley that gained its wealth in the 19th century from whaling and as a result has a large number of historic buildings; it is also known for its art galleries, antique shops, and boutiques. The historic buildings and shops center on Warren St. but are also present on side and parallel streets for several blocks on either side of that street. If that's not enough, Hudson also features the 19th-century Hudson River School painter Frederick Church's beautiful country house, Olana, and its 250-acre estate, about 3 miles south of the center of town. A single afternoon walking down Warren St is a pleasant interlude, and a few days' visit is well worth the time if you can spare it.
