Thomas Cole
Historic Site

The Thomas Cole National Historic Site in Catskill, NY, marks the birthplace of the first major art movement of the United States, now known as the Hudson River School, as it was founded by the artist and early environmentalist Thomas Cole (1801-1848).

The international destination includes the artist’s historic home and studio buildings, and features world-class art exhibitions, a robust collection of original paintings and objects, beautifully restored historic interiors, and cutting-edge immersive digital storytelling installations that bring to life Thomas Cole’s art and passionate concern for the environment.

The gardens, grounds and wrap-around porch offer panoramic views of the Catskill Mountains. The site today is a National Historic Landmark and an affiliated area of the National Park System.
