One hundred miles upriver from Miss Liberty sits the Moroccan fantasy of painter Frederick Church, whose paintings and estate are of the grandest scale. Famous in the Hudson School of Painting, he is best remembered for the monstrous Niagra Falls which he accompanied around the world several times, paying for Olana with ease. (Now owned by Brooklyn Museum of Art but mostly loaned out for the $)
A National Trust site, plan for the day and a picnic. Bring your paints. Just off the NY State Thruway, and Leeds has a good diner if it rains.
More to come- Linnie
