The Hudson Valley is a national treasure-unsurpassed natural beauty, quaint villages, world-class rock climbing and hiking, wineries, and major art destinations. Designated a National Heritage Area by Congress in 1966, the Hudson Valley has more major historic sites per square mile than any other area in the U.S.—to mention just a few: Franklin D. Roosevelt's boyhood home; the home of Samuel F. P. Morse, inventor of the telegraph; Olana, the Persian style home of famed Hudson River School artist Frederic Edwin Church; and the newest area attraction is the Walkway over the Hudson which is a State Historic Park.
Nearby is the Culinary Institute of America, the nation’s oldest culinary arts school and only residential college in the world dedicated to culinary training. The institute has trained thousands of chefs and food-service-industry professionals, including some of the most prominent chefs in the country, since its founding in 1946. It boasts a number of restaurants open to the public.
Minutes up Route 9 is the charming and historic Hyde Park. Home to both the Roosevelts and the Vanderbilts, there is no shortage of impressive history and sites.
