Five "Must Sees" in the Hudson Valley of New York

Are you planning a trip to New York's Hudson Valley? Well if you are, here are five attractions that you must see:

West Point - Take a tour of the United States Military Academy at West Point. The one hour tour makes stops at the Main Cadet Chapel which houses the largest pipe organ in North America, Trophy Point, the Battle Monument, and the Parade Field. ESPN called Michie Stadium one of the best college football venues in the United States! The two hour tour makes all the stops of the one hour tour and also stops at the Old Cadet Chapel and the West Point Cemetery with an extended tour of the gourgeous Trophy Point. After the tour, visit the West Point museum to see 200 years of military history.

Woodbury Common Premium Shopping Outlet - Spend a day (or more) at the largest premium shopping outlet in the world! A little villagelike mall of 220 stores attracts customers from all over the world to take advantage of fantastic savings on name brand items. The stores include Coach, Ralph Lauren, Dior, Gucci, Versace, and many, many more.

FDR's Home and Library - Visit the home and library of Franklin Delano Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States. Enjoy a tour of the furnished Home of FDR ("Springwood"), Rose Garden and Gravesite, Ice House, and Stables, maintained and operated by the National Park Service followed by the FDR Presidential Museum (and Library), maintained and operated by the National Archives and Records Administration.

Storm King Art Center - Storm King Art Center is a museum that celebrates the relationship between sculpture and nature. Five hundred acres of landscaped lawns, fields and woodlands provide the site for postwar sculptures by internationally renowned artists. At Storm King, the exhibition space is defined by sky and land. Unencumbered by walls, the subtly created flow of space is punctuated by modern sculpture. The grounds are surrounded by the undulating profiles of the Hudson Highlands, a dramatic panorama integral to the viewing experience. The sculptures are affected by changes in light and weather, so no two visits are the same.

Brotherhood Winery - Take a tour of the oldest winery of the U.S. with the largest underground wine cellar. Enjoy a wine tasting after the tour.

To more fully enjoy your stay in the Hudson Valley, why not experience the ambience of a bed and breakfast? The knowledgeable and friendly innkeeper will assist you in planning your itinerary and assure that your every need is fullfilled.
