A small town with a nostalgic feel
Hudson prides itself on being a small town with a big heart. It’s also a town full of beauty. In fact, the entire downtown area was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and its nostalgic feel has been preserved ever since. The town’s idyllic presence has also drawn the eye of filmmakers not only for its downtown district but also for its rolling topography and scenic natural areas. With all these elements combined to create such a cinematic backdrop, Hudson is truly a town to admire.
