While our population is equivalent to many small towns, Hudson is, and behaves much more like, a city, with an historical richness and contemporary vibrancy far bigger than its size would suggest. Hudson’s compact urban core makes it an eminently walkable city—one linked by rail to a great metropolis, built beside one of America’s great rivers, and situated at the heart of an agricultural district at the head of the farm-to-table movement. This mix—history, farming, art, culture—makes Hudson an extraordinary city to visit, offering history, sights, sounds, curiosities and great food around every corner.

• A Colorful Past - How did a city so far upriver become a whaling port in the 1700s?
• A Trove of American Architecture - Hudson is called a “dictionary of architectural history” because of its great wealth of exemplary buildings, many of them restored and meticulously maintained.
• A City of Proprietors - One thing you’ll notice as you walk along Warren Street, and the nascent commercial district on Front Street, is the nearly complete lack of national chains—the lone exception being the CVS on Warren. Hudson is, first and foremost, a city of individual shopkeepers, with over 200 independent establishments shaped by the vision of their owners. 
• Best Antiques Browsing in the Northeast - Hudson’s late 20^th Century revival was predominantly led by antiques dealers who were faced with a scarcity of space and rising rents in New York City.
• A World of Art, Artisans and Makers - Hudson has been a cultural hub since the early 1800s, with two of the most prominent members of the famed Hudson River School—Thomas Cole and Frederic Church—residing within a few miles of town, along with Sanford Gifford, who was born and buried in Hudson. 
• A Foodie Mecca - Long called the breadbasket of New York City, the Hudson River Valley has a rich agrarian history and reputation for innovative farming.
