Wendy is leading a retreat down in Cohasset today, so I took this opportunity to visit two art locations which are not-close-but-within-a-day-trip: the Thomas Cole painting at Fort Ticonderoga, and The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls, New York (Bierstadt, plus a couple of Homer's). I left home at 6:35 AM, and got back to Seven Central at 6:45 PM.
my first stop was at Quechee Gorge, about 2 miles from Exit 1 in Vermont. It is a State Park, with hiking trails, but the main attraction is the GORGE:
I parked in a nice roadside area in Vermont
(and was able to pick up some trash to make it lovely)
Fort Ticonderoga has a beautiful view of Lake George
The ground floor of the Mars Education Center is where they display Thomas Cole's Gelyna, or A View Near Ticonderoga:
The Fort had fallen into disrepair/ruins by the 1890's:
but was reconstructed in the early 1900's:
48 miles south is The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls. For me, the jewel is Albert Bierstadt's "Yosemite Valley", ca. 1865
There is also a nice Winslow Homer "Adirondack Guide, ca. 1876
and then back home via the Mass Pike
