"Red Hook -- Mid Hudson River Valley" a Red Hook Travel Page by Ekahau

Red Hook -- the Dutch sailors called the area Red Peninsula “Hoek” as the Hudson Riverbanks banks were red with berries. This is a really charming area of the midhudson near this VTers home and has the very lovely Villages of Red Hook and Tivoli in it as well as Bard College, Fisher Center for Performing Arts. Also it has some beautiful old guild age Mansions.

Most VTers would think of New York as NYC and Manhattan Island but just to the north is the gorgeous Hudson River Valley. My European Vter friends compare the Hudson with the Rhine with great palisades, fabulous mansions and lots of ship traffic The Hudson Valley is full of American History, Native Americans, Revolutionary War, Gilded age Mansions from the robber barons like Vanderbilt.
