About Hudson River Museum

Set in Trevor Park in Yonkers, this museum is the largest of its kind in Westchester County. It is best known for its large holdings of Hudson River School paintings, but its exhibits also explore the history, science, and heritage of the surrounding region. Visitors can tour Glenview, a Gilded Age house from 1877, take in shows at the county's only public planetarium, and see rotating exhibitions. The museum also offers family events, cultural celebrations, and a free digital guide.
