The Hudson River Valley offers visitors vast scenes of natural beauty, rich culture, and fascinating history. Several key battles of the American Revolutionary War took place in the region centuries ago, and in more recent history, countless painters from across the United States and around the globe have found artistic inspiration in the valley’s brilliant scenery. We will enjoy some of the sites that have inspired Americans through the generations—including the Steamtown National Historic Site, U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Franklin D. Roosevelt Library and Museum, Eleanor Roosevelt National Historic Site, Olana State Historic Site, Historic Huguenot Street, Lyndhurst Mansion, and Philipsburg Manor on our Painters and Patriots: Hudson River Valley Tour from July 12-20, 2019.

Frank Lloyd Wright was a brilliant architect and a problematic personality. Controversy, scandal, and even murder swirled through his life. He designed buildings that have become World Heritage Sites, created new architectural styles, and integrated his structures with the surrounding landscape. He also undercut his first employer; made impossible demands on builders; left his wife for a married woman; and suffered the loss of his wife, friends, and home in an arson-murder. Wright’s biography is more astounding than fiction—and we’ll experience the whole story on America’s Architect: Frank Lloyd Wright Tour August 17-20, 2019.

The Michiganders on the Road motor coach tour program was developed by HSM to allow participants to experience the culture and heritage of all 50 states. The excursions are not “cookie cutter” tours. Each and every tour is planned, executed, and guided by Robert Myers, HSM’s director for education programs and events. When planning the adventures, Myers keeps in mind what history enthusiasts look for in their road trips so that the experience meets expectations.
