Thomas Cole National Historic Site

218 Spring Street, Catskill, New York

Thomas Cole is generally considered the founder of the "Hudson River School" of American landscape painting in the mid-1800's. The Historic Site preserves his home, his studio, and kitchen garden. While we were there, it also housed an exhibition called "Cross Pollination" which tied together Cole's work, the work of Frederic Church and the Olana State Historic Site on the opposite side of the Hudson River, as well as several works from contemporary artists that were exhibited on site.
