“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

In 1966, an extraordinary coalition of private citizens and elected officials succeeded in saving Olana from dispersal and destruction. 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.

Based on a sketch by Frederic Church, rustic benches occupy key locations in Olana’s artist-designed landscape and are enjoyed by the visiting public in all seasons. The Olana Partnership offers the opportunity to dedicate one of these benches with an inscription of your choice.
