Mission & Vision
The Hudson River Maritime Museum (HRMM) was established in 1979 and preserves, interprets, and celebrates the maritime history, traditions, industries, and communities of the Hudson River and its tributaries.
HRMM connects people to the Hudson River and its watershed through education and preservation of the river’s maritime history and environment.
- HRMM seeks to empower the public to understand the value of their own stories, and how the connection between the past and present can ultimately shape the future.
- Using traditional education methods as well as hands-on learning, we will engage diverse audiences in programs that focus on our shared history and we will explore how science informs our everyday life.
- In partnership with the local and global community, HRMM will continue to grow as a cultural and tourism hub and serve as a thought leader in modeling a resilient, sustainable, and inclusive waterfront.
The Hudson River Maritime Museum is located on the Rondout Creek, part of Lenapehoking – traditional home of the Lenape. We recognize the painful history of forced removal, dispossession, cultural suppression, and genocide of Indigenous peoples. By collaborating with present day Lenape communities, culture bearers and scholars we are actively working to improve our exhibits, public programs, and educational resources, and help everyone better understand this important history.
History
The original location of HRMM on Broadway. The museum moved to its present location in 1983, the same year it acquired the steam tugboat Mathilda.
The Hudson River Maritime Museum was founded in 1979 by steamboat and tugboat veterans who had spent their working lives on the river, as well as local citizens who wanted to preserve the shipping history of the Hudson River. By 1980, the museum had opened its first exhibit.
Originally located in a storefront on the corner of Spring Street and Broadway, the museum moved down to the former Miron Lumber Company offices on what was then East Strand Street along the Rondout Creek in 1983, the same year it acquired the historic 1898 steam tugboat Mathilda, which sits in the museum yard.
In 2012, the museum partnered with Clearwater to build the Kingston Home Port and Education Center, also known as "The Barn", on the west end of the museum's property to serve as a winter Home Port for Clearwater and summer program and event space for the museum. In 2015, the museum purchased the former Rosita's Restaurant property (just east of the museum) and transformed it into the Wooden Boat School. In August, 2017, the Sailing & Rowing School offered its first youth sailing program, with one week of youth and one week of teen sailing instruction on the museum's fleet of 19' Lightnings. It has quickly expanded to include adult and youth sailing programs. Today, the museum features annual exhibits, free public events, educational programs for adults and children alike, continually updated and improved by both staff and volunteers.
