Located on the historic Rondout waterfront, the Hudson River Maritime Museum was established in 1979 to collect, preserve, research, exhibit, and interpret a collection of historical artifacts related to the maritime heritage of the Hudson River and its tributaries. This is the only museum in New York State exclusively dedicated to this mission.
In 2012, the museum partnered with Clearwater to build the Kingston Home Port and Education Center, also known as "The Barn", on the west end of the museum's property to serve as a winter Home Port for Clearwater and summer program and event space for the museum. In 2015, the museum purchased the former Rosita's Restaurant property (just east of the museum) and transformed it into the Wooden Boat School. In August, 2017, the Sailing & Rowing School offered its first youth sailing program, with one week of youth and one week of teen sailing instruction on the museum's fleet of 19' Lightnings. It has quickly expanded to include adult and youth sailing programs.
Today, the museum features annual exhibits, free public events, educational programs for adults and children alike, continually updated and improved by both staff and volunteers.
