I had been threatening to see Olana, the Fredrick Church home overlooking the Hudson in the town of Hudson, each Spring that I lived in Manhattan. However, the “Oh, I’ll do it next year” syndrome overtook my intentions. This year was IT. We spent our first night at Union Street Guest House, in a cozy re-creation of an Adirondack cabin. The next day we explored the grounds and
home at Olana. Dazzling decorations and the real-life views seen in Church’s paintings gave us plenty to do.
