America 250 at the Thomas Cole National Historic Site

June 12

+59

Catskill

Walk through the home where Thomas Cole invented American landscape painting. The 2026 "America 250" exhibition brings together Cole's luminous wilderness canvases, his student Frederic Church's work, and contemporary artist Cynthia Daignault's 360-painting road trip across America. The views of the Catskills from his porch feel like stepping into one of his paintings.
