www.ScenicHudson.orgLocated on scenic River Road in Red Hook, NY, just north of the Kingston-Rhinecliff bridge, Poets' Walk Park is a "romantic landscape" in which Fitz-Greene Halleck (1790-1867) and literary contemporaries including Washington Irving (1783-1859) and William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878) strolled while visiting the adjacent estate. Mown and gravel pathways lead to 120 acres of fields, forest, and spectacular river views. Walls of foliage and stone evoke outdoor "rooms" that reflect the 1849 aims of landscape architect Hans Jacob Ehlers. |
