Red Hook
According to local lore, Dutch navigators exploring the Hudson River happened upon Cruger’s Island—which is really a peninsula, or hoek in Dutch—in the autumn, when the foliage was a brilliant red. Until the 1800s, the Village of Red Hook was called Hardscrabble; one surmises it was not exactly Xanadu West. The Town of Red Hook comprises the northwest quadrant of Dutchess County, and contains a number of villages, among them charming Tivoli; Barrytown, site of the Unification Theological Seminary; and Annandale-on-Hudson, the home of Bard College and the place Steely Dan claims they will never go back to in their hit “My Old School.” Also worth a visit: Poet’s Walk (a romantic landscape park) and Tivoli Bays (popular with hikers, bird-watchers and canoeists).
