With its breathtaking natural scenery, its strong sense of history and legend and its rich artistic legacy, the Hudson River Valley has long inspired and rewarded its visitors. In the fifteen years since its original publication, The Traveler's Guide to the Hudson River Valley has become the trusted regional classic for exploring and appreciating the area's many attractions, from the brooding intensity of the Highlands to the unspoiled small towns of the lower Hudson. This fourth revised edition is full of candid, up-to-the-minute ideas about how best to enjoy your stay, whether for a weekend, a week or a lifetime:

  Ponies and the performing arts, museums and the most important battlefield of the Revolutionary War, all at Saratoga

  Magnificent river estates now open to the public

  Old Master paintings and contemporary masterpieces at such great regional institutions as the Hyde Collection, the Caramoor House Museum, the Neuberger Museum and Storm King Art Center

  Walking and driving tours of all the river counties, with their exquisite scenery of farms and villages, vineyards and mountains, and the most spectacular view in the Northeast

  Historic Kingston, the antique shops of Hudson and Cold Spring, the Shaker Museum in Chatham and much, much more

  Dozens of inns, bed-and-breakfast establishments, the best restaurants (including lesser-known ones worthy of discovery), antique shops, out-of-the-way shopping "finds". . . everything the visitor--and resident--needs to know
