Art in the Parks: From the Hudson River School to the Cornish Colony

August 5 - 7, 2025

Join us at Marsh-Billings-Rockefeller and Saint-Gaudens National Historical Parks to tap into the transformative powers of art and nature. Study conservation history, Hudson River School landscape paintings, monumental sculpture, and the Cornish Colony. We encourage teachers to incorporate the art collections at the National Parks into their curricula and bring their students to experience place-based education and view these national treasures in person.

Space is limited to 10 participants. Lunch is provided. Stipend and certificate for relicensure credits available upon completion. To register, please contact Susan Piccoli, librarian at Woodstock Union High/Middle School, at [e-mail]
