Hudson River Maritime Museum

A pleasant place to spend time even if you just walk along the waterfront to see the vessels that might be berthed there. There are nice walkways with several signs explaining the history of the area. Parking is metered but plentiful, and there are several eateries in the area.

When on the lighthouse tour, beautiful day, cool boat, and awesome lighthouse. You get to climb all the way to the top and the tour guides were nice and super hyped about boats and lighthouse as they should be.

Reserved our slip online, were sent a picture of where to tie up - very helpful. Super close walking distance to a variety of restaurants. Kingston by the water is quaint and pretty.

Utterly fascinating throughout as a snapshot of multiple eras in the economic and social history of the Hudson Valley from the 16th century through to today.

Great little maritime museum witnessi of I 7h an other era, when life along the Hudson river was busy with activities..

This was an absolutely amazing museum! It is a great way to introduce used to Maritime history and the critical and important role played in New York State history the exhibits are very well done at times a bit text-heavy so you may need to summarize for the poor readers in your group it is an undiscovered gem along the shore is the Hudson. Allow for about an hour to go explore. Parking can be challenging at times during high attendance events at the river

This is truly an amazing museum! It holds all the maritime history of the Kingston area and the Hudson River. We took a solar powered boat ride out to the Rondout Lighthouse. We even got to go into the Lighthouse and walk up to the top! Amazing! Now stewards of the artifacts of the steam era of boats from the last 100 years in the Hudson River. So many artifacts, boat signage, wheels from ships, tons of photos, and even a huge steel tug from 1898. Their biggest artifact! This museum is amazing, just go!

Small museum but there are lots of cool things to view. At first it seemed like basic videos and displays in the front of the museum but the more interesting exhibits are in the warehouse-like back section. There are restrooms available.
