Hudson River interpretive masts
History and interactivity at boat landings
Developed for 11 sites in the
Hudson River Heritage Area from Albany to Manhattan Harbor,
the form of each station sug–
gests a ship’s mast, with nautical
fittings and a sturgeon-shaped
wind vane. Panels reveal river
lore, river stewardship, historical
information, aspects of the river environment, and information
directed specifically to children.
Each station has an interactive component.
