History
The original location of HRMM on Broadway. The museum moved to its present location in 1983 the same year it acquired the steam tugboat Mathilda.
The Hudson River Maritime Museum was founded in 1979 by steamboat and tugboat veterans who had spent their working lives on the river as well as local citizens who wanted to preserve the shipping history of the Hudson River. By 1980 the museum had opened its first exhibit.
Originally located in a storefront on the corner of Spring Street and Broadway the museum moved down to the former Miron Lumber Company offices on what was then East Strand Street along the Rondout Creek in 1983 the same year it acquired the historic 1898 steam tugboat Mathilda which sits in the museum yard.
In 2012 the museum partnered with Clearwater to build the Kingston Home Port and Education Center also known as The Barn on the west end of the museums property to serve as a winter Home Port for Clearwater and summer program and event space for the museum. In 2015 the museum purchased the former Rositas Restaurant property (just east of the museum) and transformed it into the Wooden Boat School. In August 2017 the Sailing & Rowing School offered its first youth sailing program with one week of youth and one week of teen sailing instruction on the museums fleet of 19 Lightnings. It has quickly expanded to include adult and youth sailing programs. Today the museum features annual exhibits free public events educational programs for adults and children alike continually updated and improved by both staff and volunteers.
