The painstakingly preserved former home of Frederic Edwin Church is now a museum hung with his paintings and those of his contemporaries from the Hudson River School, the romantic 19th-century movement. The exterior is thematically Middle Eastern, and the mixed motifs of the rooms inside reflect Church’s extensive world travels. Tours are offered at specific times, but you can also tour the expansive hilltop grounds yourself—check out the mobile self-guided tour you can download online.

This is a very unique, historic home that has tours and has beautiful grounds! Some visitors go and just walk around and enjoy the views.

Olana State Historic Site was home to a noted American artist of the Hudson River School. It boasts superb views of the river, and the public is invited to enjoy the landscape. It includes miles of roads he laid out, surrounded by thousands of trees, a lake, meadows and a network of carriage roads to hike year-round; they’re all available to explore at no charge. The Olana Partnership occasionally offers winter activities such as guided snowshoe hikes. Get some exercise, and then pop inside for a guided tour of Church’s home — it’s open on weekends in winter (book in advance; there’s a fee for house tours, and they often sell out).
