I had no idea that this model was already in existence! It's hard to envision a future waterfront without knowing what we have and where things are. Most people are visual people and need to "see."<br /><br />I suggest that this model be placed at Washington Hose (the future Chamber and HDC) and be available to the public to work at the potential possibilities of Hudson's future.Chad Wecklerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15721057452000779552noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-8917192390659526482011-04-30T12:49:50.245-04:002011-04-30T12:49:50.245-04:00More background on how this model was conceived an...More background on how this model was conceived and created is at:<br /><br />http://www.sampratt.com/sam/2011/04/the-story-of-the-model.html<br /><br />--Sam P.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5723709701684173708.post-55240774873002947852011-04-30T11:25:19.431-04:002011-04-30T11:25:19.431-04:00David Voorhees submitted this comment:

First settled by the Dutch in 1662 as Claverack Landing, developed in the 1780s by New England merchants as the City of Hudson under the first federal municipal charter, the center of American visual arts in the mid-nineteenth century, an industrial center with a rich immigrant heritage, and present-day Hudson's exploding arts and entertainment scene has resulted in centuries of neglected historic artifacts. It is time that the city's mothers and fathers begin to seriously think about establishing a municipal museum to house such objects as this model so that future generations can be educated about Hudson's rich cultural heritage. I would be willing to work on such a committee.<br /><br />David William Voorhees, Ph.D.Carole Osterinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16010623982526286408noreply@blogger.com
