Cornwall-on-Hudson is a small village with rich nature and arts
Cornwall-on-Hudson’s riverside location in the Hudson Highlands has historically made the village a haven for artists and nature lovers. Storm King Art Center, the world-class sculpture park, is only 10 minutes away, and the riverfront village sits next to expansive woodlands on the water. “It has a great little-town feel, nice restaurants within town, and it's a walking town where you can actually walk around. You don’t get that in [upstate] New York too much,” says Haakim Byrd, leader of the Byrd Pro Sales Team. In the town of Cornwall, Cornwall-on-Hudson’s population of 3,000 includes a large number of retirees and remote workers looking for a quiet retreat about 90 minutes from the heart of New York. Education, the arts and a lively small business scene are among its main employers, and restored 19th-century homes add historic character to the village.
With about 3,000 residents, Cornwall-on-Hudson is a beloved village in the beautiful state of New York.
Even if you're just visiting Cornwall-on-Hudson, its diverse architecture makes the town a memorable trip.

The Hudson Highlands have attracted old poets and modern nature lovers
Nathaniel Parker Willis, a member of Edgar Allan Poe’s literary circle, gave the name Storm King to one of the area’s most prominent peaks due to its majestic appearance in the morning fog. Today, it’s the centerpiece of a 1,900-acre state park full of valley viewpoints. “You’ve also got Plum Point, a nice river park. It’s a beautiful park with river views and river walks,” Byrd says. Donahue Memorial Park, on the waterfront, is locally known as a trainspotting venue and a put-in point for Hudson River kayaking. Next to the village, Riverlight Park has baseball fields, a wading pool, a playground, and courts for tennis and basketball.

Historic downtown includes diverse eateries and cafes
River, Idlewild and Duncan avenues intersect with Hudson Street to form Cornwall’s historic downtown. “They have a restaurant called Painter’s Tavern that has local art in it,” Byrd says. “It’s been there a long time. It’s a big staple in Cornwall.” The Storm King Lounge & Fare serves fine dining in an Art Deco setting. Cornwall’s small business scene also includes boutique eateries like the 2 Alices Coffee Lounge, the colorful Las Margaritas Mexican restaurant and the Chez Ana ice cream shop. Neighboring Firthcliffe has a DG Market, while New Windsor offers Hannaford, Price Chopper and ShopRite supermarket options less than 3 miles away.
