“Olana is the monument of Emerson’s, Thoreau’s and Whitman’s America…”
– David Huntington, The Landscapes of Frederic Edwin Church: Visions of an American Era, 1966

Ever since this combination of public and private support has ensured that this unique treasure of American art and landscape, a key National Historic Landmark within the Hudson River Valley National Heritage Area, is sustained for future generations.
