    This was our first stop on our Road Trip after leaving New York. It's a very comfortable place to visit - lots to see in the house. Due to our timing we couldn't guarantee arriving in time for the guided tour of the house so we booked a self-guided tour instead. This was fine, all of the rooms had people willing to give lots of information and insight into the house and its belongings.
    The rooms are as furnished by the owner from his travels. He seems to have collected whatever took his fancy, there's no real theme linking things but this is not a problem. Most things are well worth a look. Some of his paintings are displayed.
    All the staff and volunteers we met there were friendly, helpful and full of information that they wished to impart.
    A good start on our journey.

    I booked the Hudson-Athens Lighthouse for a private birthday party for my sister's 70th birthday. It was a very unique & memorable experience for everyone. The kids enjoyed the boat ride and had a great time. We bought sandwiches and drinks and had a picnic lunch on the deck of the lighthouse. We are only a small group of 17 and it was perfect.

    Wonderful gallery with high-quality art with an emphasis on local artists, especially women. Prices are reasonable and fair for the quality. Very friendly staff too.

    I had been wanting to visit the FASNY for years after hearing about how great this museum was and it does live up to its reputation. This is a museum that you want to visit if you like anything firefighting related.

    The museum is a wonder book of information and equipment. The whole history of firefighting is here. There are fire trucks and engines from all eras to explore, displays on the history of fire fighting, wonderful artifacts that explain the changes over the years and well as interactive displays for kids who might be interested in a career in the service.

    I highly recommend it to any firefighting family.

    Might never get done of course but the Historic Hudson enthusiasts are doing it right. The house is a fascinating study of a project committed to the pursuit of perfection. When it’s open as it was for the design showcase the historic halls come alive.

    You need to stop here to pick up local fruits and produce. They offer a good selection of baked goods that are baked on-site. Deli offers Boar;s Head cold cuts as well as a good selection of soft drinks. Iced cream bar is an added treat.

    Going to see a play at Stageworks is a community affair. The venue is intimate, and you're bound to run into someone you know. The "lobby" is more like a friend's living room, with appetizers and drinks available. We've seen a couple of performances, most recently Looped, an alternately hilarious and touching play about a moment in diva Tallulah Bankhead's life.

    We have cards to the Catskill Library and as a result are able to visit the Hudson library which is also in the Mid Hudson system. They recently moved into the old armory and the new space has been attractively repurposed and makes for pleasant browsing. We also dropped into a mall art show they had there and enjoyed that as well.

    Stopped on our trek home, plenty of parking, very cool, old building. It's sparsely furnished bit there are a ton of live plants inside which is really cool. Good beer, light and refreshing and the staff is incredibly friendly and inviting. Great little place to try on your travels even if it takes you slightly off track.

    We came here for an extremely avant-garde dance performance, accompanied by an associated art gallery. The large building and huge performance space gave a lot of space for the two dancers, props, and a smattering of audience chairs around the outside. The unusual set up ensured every member of the audience felt like it was a nearly personal experience with a unique perspective. Ticketing and the lobby were fairly informal, as you would expect from a local theater. The performance though, was something you might expect to see in a black box in New York City. It was honestly not my favorite show, but I enjoy having my expectations challenged and being pushed out of my comfort zone.
