On Hudson, a Secret Art Gallery at an Old School

On Hudson, a Secret Art Gallery at an Old School

A serene, almost abandoned town North of Hudson 2.5-hour ride from NYC may be an unlikely destination for an occasional explorer. For the most part the town of Kinderhook, the birthplace of Martin Van Buren (America’s eighth president), is an uneventful array of stunning homes with colored doors and exquisite enamel street signs.
