Historic Hudson is a not-for-profit corporation founded in 1996 to promote the preservation of the unique architectural heritage of the City of Hudson, New York. Comprising a remarkable collection of largely intact 18th-, 19th-, and early 20th-century buildings, Hudson is considered by many to be a veritable dictionary of American architectural style.

Kinderhook is one of the oldest and most important towns of Columbia County. The First European settlers may have arrived as early as 1650, and were emigrants from Holland and Sweden, settling under the Kinderhook Land Patent. The town has an excellent reputation for its agricultural resources, and contains many highly-improved farms.
