We enjoyed the museum more than we expected, and learned some things about the Hudson River we didn't know. It was interesting to see how the river was used for industry and recreation, especially during the winter when the river is nothing but ice!

The museum is located on the Rondout Creek near the Hudson River. This was our first stop on a week-long vacation exploring the Hudson River Valley in New York. We stopped at this museum to get a history of the Hudson River Valley. There were lots of exhibits, some permanent and some rotating. The main attraction during our visit was art in the area. Not very interesting to us, as our objective was history and the development of the maritime industry on the Hudson and development of the area. They did have a very good section on this topic.

Please Return in the spring as our guest! Our Opening Weekend wil be MAY 2. See our new interactive exhibit, "Lighthouses of the Hudson River." As a small museum we do have our limitations but we are Celebrating Our 35th Year of Anchoring the Community in 2015. We have a small staff and depend on our many volunteers.On Friday, January 30, 2015, the Hudson River Maritime Museum made a fortuitous acquisition of the property at 86 Rondout Landing, a former waterfront restaurant. This enabled the Museum to turn a “someday” dream of thoughtfully expanding its footprint on the Rondout, into a bona fide reality, creating a RIVERPORT BOAT BUILDING SCHOOL and a more vibrant working and teaching waterfront as well as a year round tourist destination.The Riverport Wooden Boat Building School of the Hudson River Maritime Museum and additional year round educational space will be the end result.Located on the historic Rondout waterfront, the Hudson River Maritime Museum was established in 1980 to collect, preserve, research, exhibit, and interpret a collection of historical artifacts related to the maritime heritage of the Hudson River and its tributaries. This is the only museum in New York State exclusively dedicated to this mission.Administrative offices, archives and collections storage, and exhibits are housed in a two-story brick building once used by the Miron Lumber Company as an office and warehouse. Events and educational programs are held in the Kingston Home Port and Education Center. The museum courtyard, flanked by the museum building and the Kingston Home Port and Education Center, contains the historic steam tugboat Mathilda as well as a gazebo, gardens, picnic tables and benches, and a walkway along Rondout Creek. The collected artifacts include historic vessels, objects, archival material and art related to Hudson River transportation, industries and recreation such as paintings, prints, photographs, ephemera, blueprints, artifacts, ship models, a 100-year old shad boat, life boats, lighthouse tender and ice yachts.The maritime heritage of the Hudson River encompasses industries such as ice harvesting, brick making, boat building, bluestone quarrying, cement making, coal transport, and crushed stone. The steam era of transportation, which stimulated the growth of these various industries on the Hudson River, is emphasized, and the 19th and 20th centuries are the primary time periods interpreted.The Hudson River Maritime Museum shares its knowledge, research, and collections through public events, lectures, education programs and activities, exhibitions, and publications. The museum also partners with other non-profit organizations such as the Hudson River Sloop Clearwater, Inc., the Rondout Rowing Club and Kingston High School Crew Team, Riverkeeper, the Kingston Sailing Club, and more.As a 501(c)3 non-profit organization, the Hudson River Maritime Museum is supported by private donations and memberships. It does not receive any state or federal funding except through competitive, project-based grants. Consider making a donation or becoming a member today.

This is the only museum in New York Sate dedicated to preserving the maritime history of the Hudson River. This museum seems small from the outside, but the interior will surprise you. There are full size boats and other artifacts, an art gallery, and a lovely gift shop, One gallery covers the history dating from Henry Hudson and the Half Moon,The other gallery has exhibits of the area in its heyday when it was a stop for dayliners and was the D&H Canal terminus. A multimedia display of aquatic life in the Hudson contains real specimens.The museum is located on the Rondout Creek and there is docking available. Within a short walk, visit the Trolley Museum, tour the Hudson on the Rip Van Winkle, visit art galleries and shops, and dine at one of the many fine restaurants.

“Hi Kristen L. Thank you so much for reviewing the museum. We want to let you know that our new exhibit 'All About Tugboats" for the 2014 season is going to have some very exciting hands-on interactive elements as well as Tugs to tour. We have a simulated pilot house and are updating some of our other exhibits to include lots of hands-on activities, both indoors and out so I hope you’ll visit again this year . Please accept our personal invitation to Hudson River Days! All the best, HRMM Staff.”

the hudson river marintime museum is one of the best museums that I have ever been to, not only because of its exhibits, but also the friendly atmosphere. I have chatted for a long time with the museums' staffs, and it is really interesting to hear what they have acknowledged. Many of the gift shop staffs are volunteers, but they are all very knowledgable about the area and the museum.the inside of the museum contains a lot of interesting photos, models, the items from the steamers, sloops and even bricks and other staffs. I think the the size of the exhibits is about the medium, if you look through everything carefully, it will easily take you two hours. The only bad thing is that they can no longer provide a Rondout lighthouse tour because the ship company sold the passenger ship.Museum just located next to the Rondout area, it will be excellent to plan a trip to Rondout for a half a day in weekends, first to look around the historical houses in the area, and then go to marintime museum, take a visit to nearby trolley museum for a trolley ride, after that, having a great lunch, and end the trip with a hudson river cruise running. It will definitely be a memorable trip for the whole family!

we came to the waterfront here to get our boat for the Hudson River sightseeing cruise, and found this interesting museum! It has a lot of info and the staff are very friendly. As mentioned before, it was so interesting to see how they cut ice in years gone by, when the river froze over. There were old wooden boats, and a lighthouse lens. Don't miss stopping here!

It was a lovely museum for those interested in the early development of boats and the Hudson River. I wish it were a little larger.

located on the strand in Kingston, NY. small building where you can get a little local maritime history. They have some boats around the building to look at too. You also have the Trolley Museum nearby. There are several restaurants and little shops along the strand. Its a nice place to visit during the warmer weather.
