"The City of Beacon is nestled in the Hudson Valley, between the mighty Hudson River and historic Mount Beacon. Just 70 to 90 minutes by train from NYC, the city is home to around 14,000 residents, more than 90 shops, over 90 places to eat and drink, and some of the most stunning nature in the world. With a historic Main Street almost a mile long, there’s something for everyone."

Beacon Main Street

"a super-popular place to launch kayaks, picnic, stroll through rehabilitated wetlands and meadows ... or just sit and admire the river."

Long Dock Park

"Dia:Beacon is a museum of contemporary art with&nbsp;more exhibition space than Manhattan’s Guggenheim,&nbsp;Whitney Museum, and MoMA combined ... In the former Nabisco box-printing plant ... their works represent nearly all of the important late&nbsp;20th century art movements ... Highlights include&nbsp;works by Andy Warhol, Dan Flavin, and Richard Serra."

Dia Beacon

A moderately difficult hike that is absolutely worth it for the breathtaking views at the top of the Hudson River, the whole valley and on a clear day even NYC.

Mount Beacon Fire Tower

"Storm King Art Center is a 500-acre outdoor museum ... where visitors experience large-scale sculpture and site-specific commissions under open sky." Works by Andy Goldsworthy, Roy Lichtenstein, Richard Serra, Maya Lin, Alexander Calder, Lousie Bourgeois and many more.

Storm King Art Center

Magazzino Italian Art is a museum and research center dedicated to postwar and contemporary Italian art, located in Cold Spring, New York. It opened in 2017 at the site of a former computer chip factory, from which it takes its name, which translates to "warehouse."

Magazzino Italian Art

"Bannerman Castle is an abandoned early 20th Century 'Folly'&nbsp;that served as a military surplus and arsenal warehouse...&nbsp;&nbsp;When visiting Bannerman island you will enjoy beautifully restored gardens and terraces, the original Bannerman Summer Residence (now a museum), and incredible views of the Hudson River Fjord and historic castle ruins."
