Tales from Hudson’s Crypts: The Tour
Long-touted as “a virtual treasure trove for historians and enthusiasts of American funerary art,” the Cedar ParkCemetery includes over 10,000 grave sites for a wide range of interesting and notable individuals, including the Proprietors and their ancestors, war heroes, famous artists, paragons of industry, disaster survivors and much more. Learn about the history of the original cemetery and its recent history during our annual tour with Kelley Drahushuk. Kelley is a long-time resident of Hudson, NY with family history in the city dating back to the 1800s. She, along with her husband Alan, own The Spotty Dog Books and Ale, now in its 19th year of operation on Hudson’s Warren Street in the former CH Evans Hook & Ladder building. Kelley has served on the board of the Hudson Area Library and continues as a member of the History Room Committee.
