Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial Celebration
1609 - 2009

The year 2009 marks the 400th anniversary of Hudson and Champlain's voyages along the river and lake that bear their names, and the 200th anniversary of Fulton's successful steamboat voyage and establishment of steam commerce on the Hudson River. From Quebec to New York harbor, a wealth of exciting events and activities are being planned.

The Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Celebration - ExploreNY400, is the quadricentennial event honoring our Hudson River and Lake Champlain heritage as it contributes to the settlement, growth and prosperity of the Hudson River Valley and our neighbors to the north. Visit ExploreNY400.com for scheduled events up and down the river in 2009!

The Friends of the Yorktown Museum (FYM) and the Taconic Postcard Club in 2009 will provide a traveling exhibition related to our waterways. This program is funded in part by a New York State grant to the Friends of the Yorktown Museum.
