THOMAS COLE NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE
218 Spring Street, Catskill, New York
Thank you for your support of the 2026 Summer Party benefitting the Thomas Cole National Historic Site. It was a wonderful evening celebrating all together here on the historic campus.
A Pivotal Moment to Support
This year marks the 250th Anniversary of America, and we are celebrating here at the home of American landscape painting. Our initiative, “Thomas Cole: Painting the Nature of America,” will unveil a series of three historic and contemporary exhibitions, all of which you can see during the party. The project explores how Cole transformed the landscape of the United Statues into an iconic symbol of the country, giving rise to the national identity of America the beautiful. The project also includes year-round community programming, K-12 school programs, and a teacher workshop.
Your support is critical to this national landmark and the community it serves. Your event sponsorships and tickets comprise a large part of our annual operating budget, allowing us to offer experiences that spark a love of art and nature through the work of Thomas Cole. Thank you for your critical support that makes all our achievements possible.
