Gilded Splendor: A Hudson River Museum Gala (2024)

Thank you for joining us for Gilded Splendor: A Hudson River Museum to revel in the 100th anniversary of the Hudson River Museum’s stewardship of Glenview, our beautiful Gilded Age home on the National Register of Historic Places, while celebrating the stunning summer exhibitions and three outstanding honorees.

The evening program, which took place in the lobby, courtyard, and the newly reopened Hudson Room and River Terrace, included cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and dinner catered by Sterling Affair, live musical performances by The Westchester Center for Jazz and Contemporary Music and Yolanda F. Johnson and Jennifer Brooks, messages from our honorees and special guests, and silent, live, and cause auctions.
