It's a great way to avoid swimming across the Hudson River between Rhinebeck & Kingston! The westerly views are not too shabby either.

Rondout Lighthouse

A very sturdy…read morelighthouse The first lighthouse built in this area was back in 1838. The ship traffic was increasing dramatically as steamboats became more popular and a lighthouse was definitely needed. Unfortunately the wooden structure wasn't up to the massive ice floes and storms that hammer this area and was soon in very poor condition . So a new and much stronger lighthouse was built with stone and reinforced concrete pilings. Over the years the ice once again proved too much for even this stronger light. Parts were removed and brought over to the Bristol lighthouse in Rhode Island and eventually the rest of the second lighthouse was demolished in 1953. In 1915 a third and even stronger lighthouse was built. It had a 4th order Fresnel Lens, a 1,000 pound fog bell and stood over 48 feet high. It served the shipping of the area well for decades. It was automated in 1954 but even this light took a pounding for the storms, cold and massive ice floes and was eventually abandoned and left to the wind, ice and elements. Fortunately a group of lighthouse lovers decided to do something about it and started a restoration project in 1984 and rebuilt and furnished the light and house to it's 1930 look. They certainly did a lovely job and the light is now as in excellent condition. The lighthouse is presently a museum and tours go out there on occasion to give a glimpse of what it was like living in a lighthouse surrounded by water. An impressive lighthouse that will continue to please and educate people for a long, long time.

There is a smaller unpaved road that leads to the carriage house and around to several gardens and eventually up to the front entry way of the mansion. We didn't go inside as we had spent 40 minutes walking the grounds but plan to do so on a future visit.

A Wedding at Mills Mansion, Staatsburg, NY…read more There are places where history doesn't just exist--it breathes. Mills Mansion at the Staatsburg State Historic Site is one of them. Perched above the Hudson River, surrounded by sweeping lawns and timeless architecture, the scenery holds a quiet grandeur that makes every wedding feel both intimate and monumental. I had the privilege of photographing a wedding there, and it was an experience that will stay with me for a long time. The mansion itself feels cinematic in scale, yet human in its warmth. Inside, sunlight drifts through tall windows, painting slow-moving patterns across the floor. Outside, the wind off the river carries laughter down the terrace steps, mingling with the rustle of old trees and the faint hum of the day. It's a space that invites stillness and awe all at once--a perfect stage for love stories that feel like they've been unfolding for generations. This is undoubtedly on my list of top 10 places to get married in the Hudson Valley. I love it here.
