The Hudson River Maritime Museum, based in Kingston, New York, is a small to mid-sized regional cultural institution founded in 1979 that preserves and interprets the maritime history of the Hudson River and its tributaries. Its collections comprise historic vessels, archival material, and art related to Hudson River transportation, industries, and recreation, including a century-old shad boat, lifeboats, ship models, and associated artifacts. The museum emphasizes the steam-era transportation and focuses on the 19th and 20th centuries as the primary periods shaping the river’s commercial activity and its related industries. It disseminates knowledge through public events, lectures, exhibitions, education programs, and published materials. In 2026 the museum launched On-The-Creek Lighthouse Tours, expanding its offerings to engage a broader audience.
