Scenic Hudson and partners are hosting two dynamic events at the Kathryn W. Davis RiverWalk Center in Sleepy Hollow during September. One event provides educators with teaching resources to help them introduce fascinating aspects of the Hudson River Valley into lessons with their students. The other family-friendly happening connects people with the river and the unique story of the River Center.
