Like many not-for-profits this year, 2020, the year of COVID, the Hudson River Maritime Museum is struggling to stay afloat.  Kingston is a relatively small town of 23,000 residents, give or take, so fundraising requires casting a wide net.  In the world of rowing the museum supports the Kingston High School Crew as well as the YouthBoat Project which teaches rowing on traditional rowboats.  In order to keep the museum up and running so that it can continue to provide these wonderful programs that instill needed skills such as discipline, leadership, camaraderie, humility,  and trust…  Please support the Hudson River Maritime Museum with a donation today.
