Hudson Historic District

Hudson Historic District is a protected area with buildings from different periods and styles including Federal, Greek Revival, and Victorian design. The structures line the streets and display how architecture changed over more than a century of development.

Hudson was established in the 18th century and grew quickly into an important port and trade center. The district was protected to preserve the buildings from this period and their architectural importance.

The buildings show how Hudson evolved from a small port into an important trading hub for the region. Walking through the streets, you can see how commerce shaped the design and construction of homes and businesses over time.

Visitors can explore the district on their own at any time, and maps with information about notable buildings are available at local visitor centers. Walking through the area is easy and straightforward on public streets.

The whaling industry of the 19th century shaped much of the district's architecture and left a lasting mark on the buildings. Many structures were built to serve merchants and shipowners connected to this trade.
