Country Seats Tours
Hudson River Heritage (HRH) hosts an annual Country Seats Tour with each year featuring a specific theme and location. These popular tours showcase houses and other buildings of architectural and historic interest within the Landmark District and Mid-Hudson Valley. This tour, now in its 30th year, is a staple of the autumn calendar and a “must-attend” event for many patrons who look forward to returning to the Hudson Valley each year to see old favorites and discover some previously hidden gems.
NOTE: It was our plan to conduct a Country Seats Tour in October 2021, but the continued concerns about COVID-19, the Delta variant, and vaccination statuses has meant that most people are not interested in opening their homes to visitors this year. Understandably, we have decided to postpone our next Country Seats Tour until 2022, and hope for better times ahead.
