In 1980, the Olympic torch passed through Hudson on its way to Lake Placid for the Winter Olympics. That event was recorded by Lance Wheeler in a video that can be viewed here.
To memorialize that event, the Hudson Kiwanis Club created a commemorative Olympic torch, which currently resides in the little traffic island that is Rogers Park.
Today, to mark the opening of the Winter Olympics in Milan, officials from the City of Hudson and Columbia County, along with representatives of the once active Hudson Kiwanis Club, gathered to light Hudson's commemorative torch, which will burn throughout the duration of the XXV Winter Games.
