The Hudson River Maritime Museum is a vibrant educational resource and unique cultural destination in the Hudson Valley.

Sitting on the Rondout Creek, our campus serves as a dynamic community hub and working waterfront where people of all ages and abilities gather for events and engage in on-the-water activities like sailing classes, and boat tours, and develop new skills in woodworking, boat building, and more.
​Our members enable us to preserve the rich maritime history of the Hudson Valley and inspire future generations to enjoy the river as their playground and classroom. Join now and you will directly contribute to our day to day operations, ensuring that we can provide 24-hour access to the waterfront and serve as an economic driver for the Historic Rondout Waterfront all year long. Plus, you get some pretty great benefits by joining our community of Hudson River history enthusiasts.

We also offer Business memberships for companies large and small.
