On Sunday June the 7th, Beacon (NY) among other little towns in the state of New York celebrated the 4th Centenary of the first european navigation among the Hudson River, the one that became world wide famous thanks to a goose. Although there was no massive celebration, the party was beautiful. The whole town met to see the replics of the original fleet that went through the river until Canada 400 years ago.
Beacon is famous because of the Dia:Beacon - for those interested in contemporany art – and the art galleries located on Main Street. Here is a little show of what happened upstate New York. If you visit New York City, if you have a little bit of time, if you have been living in th city and want to see something different from the Empire State Building or the Financial District, if you want to see a real american town, go to Grand Central Station, take a train to Beacon ($24 round trip) and enjoy the beauty of nature and the architecture of american town.
