Geocache Description:


For this cache, you are looking for a small bison container. Bring a pen.

Frederic Church carefully designed Olana’s 250 acres with an artist’s eye to his property’s 360- degree “borrowed” views of neighboring hills, valleys, the Hudson River and distant mountains. The views beyond Olana – its “viewshed” – were an essential part of Church’s original composition. The Olana Viewshed was Church’s muse, and in the 21st century it remains a vital part of Olana’s integrity as a complete work of art. The Olana Viewshed comprises panoramic views that begin in the Hudson River Valley and extend toward Massachusetts, Vermont, and Connecticut.

Olana fun fact: Frederic Church drew designs for rustic mountain laurel benches for the site, and some appear in historic photos. While it is unknown how many were made during the historic period – none survive – modern replicas were made by Romancing the Woods of Saugerties, NY.
