About Us: "One hundred years ago, commemorative events for Hudson, Fulton and Champlain highlighted technological breakthroughs, celebrating recent advances in flight and electricity. Today, the Hudson River-Lake 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 River Valley, Bear Mountain and Harriman State Parks were established. The property that is now Crown Point Historic Site on Lake Champlain was conserved, and Fort Ticonderoga was restored to its 18th-century appearance. Celebrations also featured the construction of noble monuments and a re-examination of our regional heritage.
Hudson River
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."
