The Hudson Valley has a wide variety of museums to explore.

What Museums Have You Explored In The Hudson Valley?

I've had the opportunity to explore a variety of different museums in the Hudson Valley. I enjoyed Opus 40, who some would say is a museum and others would claim it's also a sculpture park in Saugerties, NY.

The Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History is also very interesting, located in the historic district of Kingston, NY. The Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site was fun to explore and see how she lived in her cottage in Hyde Park, NY.

Down the road from The Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site is Home of Franklin D. Roosevelt National Historic Site which is worth visiting both on the same day.

The Vanderbilt Mansion National Historic Site was fascinating to explore and to also learn about in Hyde Park, NY.

The National Park Service mentioned that guests can explore the, 

"Vanderbilt property from European settlement in the seventeenth century to present day."

Have You Been To This Groovy Hudson Valley Museum Before?

One of my favorite museums in the Hudson Valley is the Museum at Bethel Woods Center for the Arts in Bethel, NY. This museum highlights the 1960's and 1970's along with the 1969 Woodstock Museum Festival which took place on the present day of Bethel Woods. Different exhibits, props and a movie theater are at the Museum at Bethel Woods.

Hudson Valley museums will soon be offering free admission.
