can not be fully appreciated without a visit to the sites that inspired
the great paintings. Each year, Cedar Grove offers guided hikes with
themes relating to Thomas Cole, his contemporaries, and 19th-century
American culture.
"Kindred Spirits" Hike
October 16, 9 am
The magnificent view behind Thomas
Cole and
William Cullen Bryant in the painting "Kindred Spirits" is considered
to be a compilation of several places, both real and romanticized, in
and around Kaaterskill Clove in the Catskill Mountains. Join us on a
hike to some of the beautiful places that inspired the great painting
by Asher B. Durand. The hike departs at 9am from Cedar Grove, returning
in time for the 2pm Sunday
Salon on the same topic. The hike is $25 per person, $20 for
members of Cedar Grove. Space is limited, please send your check to
Thomas Cole Historic Site, PO Box 426, Catskill, NY, 12414.
