Hudson River Maritime Museum

Located on historic Rondout Creek, the Hudson River Maritime Museum collects and displays four centuries of technological, industrial, and ecological innovations. They collect, preserve, research, display, and interpret collections of historical artifacts related to the maritime heritage of the Hudson River including ice harvesting, brick making, boat building, bluestone quarrying, cement making and coal transport. In recent years, environmental advocacy has increased in communities along the Hudson River and along with it, education about the importance of watershed protection.
