Thomas Cole National Historic Site
Thomas Cole National Historic Site is an affiliated area of the National Park System. It is not a park unit.
In 1825, America was still a new nation, just forming its own unique identity and traditions. Thomas Cole invented a new style of art, one that Americans could call their own. His landscape paintings launched the art movement known as the Hudson River School. His groundbreaking achievements took place here in Catskill, New York -- in the "peaceful shades" of his beloved home, Cedar Grove.
About 2 hours from Hartford by car.
