HISTORIC HUDSON WALKING TOUR

How much do you know about Hudson, the city that Mary Ann Zimmerman, describes in her walking tour, as a city that exudes high energy, innovation and entrepreneurhsip?

There’s more to Hudson than antique shops, great restaurants, charming b&b’s, art galleries and perhaps the best roster of cultural activities in the Hudson Valley. It’s the history of the city that defines the Hudson Walking Tour. Simply engrossing and captivating, is how Ms. Zimmerman defines Hudson.
