Hudson Fulton Champlain Quadricentennial
Commemorating the past. Celebrating the present. Preserving the future.
One hundred years ago commemorative events for Hudson and Champlain highlighted that era's technological breakthroughs, celebrating advances in flight and electricity. Today, the Hudson-Champlain Corridor is a global center for new technology, transportation, and commerce.
The 1909 celebration was a catalyst for scenic, natural, and historic preservation. In the Hudson Valley, Bear Mountain and Harriman State Parks were established. Celebrations also featured construction of noble monuments and a re-examination of our regional heritage.
Today, the Hudson and Champlain valleys continue to be places that sustain us. They help us examine the meaning of place and our relationship to the earth and water. These landscapes support us and contribute to who we are.
This sense of place will guide us as we prepare for 2009. Click on our logo to visit ExploreNY400.com. |
