Commemorating the past.
Celebrating the present.
Preserving the future.
One hundred years ago, commemorative events for Hudson, Fulton and Champlain highlighted technological breakthroughs, celebrating recent advances in flight and electricity. Today, the Hudson River-Lake Champlain Corridor is a global center for new technology, transportation and commerce.
The 1909 celebration was a catalyst for scenic, natural and historic preservation. Today, the Hudson and Champlain valleys continue to be places that sustain us. They help us examine the meaning of place and our relationship to the earth and water.
