Thomas Cole House (National Historic Site).

"In the early nineteenth century, many in this country were searching for a style of art that they could call their own - something uniquely American. Painter, poet, and essayist Thomas Cole (1801-1848) responded to this quest by creating pristine landscape paintings unlike any yet seen. His vision of wild and untouched scenery with majestic mountains and tangled forests stood in stark contrast to the gentle landscape images that had come before."

Thomas Cole was the founder of the Hudson River School of painting. Olana, a State Historic Site, belonging to Frederic Church, a leading member of that school, is just across the river.
