Don’t miss out! Two weeks remain to register for the FREE What’s Out There Weekend Upper Hudson Valley.
Explore dozens of iconic sites across Columbia, Greene, Albany, and Rensselaer Counties through expert-led tours, including Albany’s Lincoln Park. This sweeping, 67.2-acre park features a ravine formed by the Beaver Kill Creek and stunning views of the downtown Albany, including the nearby Empire Plaza. Framed by curvilinear drives, the park comprises distinct western and eastern sections that were developed in the nineteenth century, for which it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2017. The park’s western section features a broad hill topped by a Modernist school (1955) and a modest Italianate structure (1852) designed by Andrew Jackson Downing and Calvert Vaux. The eastern section is characterized by an athletic complex nestled in the natural, amphitheater-like depression, with a horseshoe shaped concrete pool (1931), Colonial Revival bathhouse (1930–1933), and athletic fields.
