From the earliest days of European settlement, the majestic Hudson River Valley in New York State has been a seat of American political, financial, social, and artistic development. And over the centuries, everything from colonies and farms to estates and cities have popped up along this 150-mile stretch between New York City and the Adirondack Mountains. It's time to uncover this magical region and see how buildings and structures built over the past 400 years have interacted with the awe-inspiring landscapes.

Join New York Adventure Club for a three-part series on the architecture along New York's Hudson River Valley, one of the oldest and most historically significant stretches in America known for its rich history, natural beauty, and cultural significance. In Part One: A Colonial Melting Pot, we explore how Dutch, British, German, and French settlers influenced design along the Hudson Valley beginning in the early 1600s.

Led by architectural historian David V. Griffin of Landmark Branding, this digital showcase featuring a selection of unique structures will include:

• A brief overview of the Hudson River Valley landscape and why it attracted the earliest settler communities
• The medieval-style stone houses built by the Dutch settlers and the “patroon” culture they developed from the early 1600s
• The remarkable collection of late 17th and early 18th century architecture created by the French Huguenots in New Paltz
• The arrival of the Georgian style with British settlement
• The creation of the Federal era after the American War of Independence
• Greek Revival architecture in the Hudson River Valley

Afterward, we'll have a Q&A with David — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged!
