First Day Hike with the “Dogs of Olana”

Monday, January 1, 10:00-11:00am

Celebrate the New Year with expansive views and your best friend! Channel 19th century artist Frederic Church’s taste for exploration during a special pup-friendly hike of the winter landscape at Olana State Historic Site. Learn more about Olana’s special winter exhibition, Spectacle: Frederic Church & The Business of Art, as you explore Olana’s 250-acres with your furry friend in tow. Please note, all dogs must be kept on a leash during their time at Olana and the site is a carry in carry out facility.

Begins at the Wagon House Education Center at the historic farm complex at the bottom of the site and covers about 1 mile with an uphill portion; please wear weather-appropriate apparel and comfortable footwear. Check out other #DogsofOlana on our Instagram at @OlanaFredericChurch. Hot beverages (coffee, tea, and hot chocolate) and sketching materials will be provided in the Wagon House Education Center from 1-3pm as part of Artmaking in the Afternoon if you are inspired during your adventures.
