Chronogram's Community video on the town of Beacon NY
Chronogram's write up on Beacon:Beacon on the Hudson is its own work of art…a colorful, creative, multidimensional community with a vibrant cultural life, a warm and welcoming classic American Main Street dining and shopping experience, and a sacred relationship to the river and surrounding landscape that animates everything.
2nd Beacon Video: Chronogram Magazine's community focus on Beacon:
Named to commemorate the fires set on nearby Fishkill Mountain during the Revolutionary War to alert the Continental Army about British troop movements, today Beacon lights up with more and more good reasons to visit and, for many, great reasons to settle and stay. With a packed events calendar and a steady stream of new happenings and openings that keeps flowing into town, the city is in the midst of an ongoing renaissance that started in the late 1990s and was punctuated with a big explanation point in 2003 with the opening of Dia:Beacon—one of the world’s largest contemporary art museums.
Creatively charged and infused with an infectious community spirit, the sense of spontaneity and cross-pollination here feels like spring is always in the air, inviting you to pick your own bouquet from all that’s blooming.
