New York is all abuzz this week with many events scheduled to commemorate the 400th anniversary of Henry Hudson's legendary voyage for the Dutch to the Hudson River and New York City/State. If you are interested in investigating this interesting historic topic, try the following websites ~~ NY400, Henry Hudson 400 or the Mannhatta project for a look at what Manhattan looked like in 1609.

Of course, the library has books on the subject such as The Hudson: America's River, The Hudson River: A Great American Treasure and many, many more. Don't miss our In a New York State of Mind display in the front of the library for more books about our Empire State, past & present.
