The town rumor about Taylor made me lol. When I was in high school, my small town had a very pervasive rumor that Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston had bought a home there. (They did not.)
Unfortunately won’t be making it up this weekend but hoping to convince some friends to do a Hudson valley trip in October! Will be hanging on to this for recs!
Kinderhook is great! I can’t wait to send your guide to some friends. A few other summer things: the wonderful Shaker Museum — which is building a new complex in Chatham — usually has cool tiny gallery shows in the Knitting Mill which you can catch on your way in/out of OK pantry and The Aviary.
And a new and great place for snacks in Hudson is Forts Ferry shop on Warren Street—the produce is from their awesome farm up by me in Albany. Also many expensive non food things to browse there too…
Love this guide! If I weren’t busy this weekend I would definitely try to make it for the event, but hopefully I’ll be able to visit in the future and check out some of these spots!!
I’m embarrassed to say I’ve only been to Chatham to pay a speeding ticket 😳 but it looked so cute!!!! I think I need to plan a meet break for the end of summer

Once the rumor gets going it really takes off, doesn't it??

Martin Van Buren has some low impact trails too 😊
I've walked by the Shaker Museum hundreds of times and never been in. Great reminder! Also love the Forts Ferry shop! So beautiful.
Bookmarked this whole post. Going to be doing a weekend trip there in sept, this is so helpful!!
September is so gorgeous here! Have an amazing time.

No pressure at all. Come visit anytime! It's especially lovely here in the fall.
I love Hudson! We haven’t spent much time in Kinderhook since we always end up in Hudson when we’re up that way.
Definitely check out Kinderhook and Chatham next time!

You have convinced me to book a Hudson Valley weekend as soon as possible!
