Shopping: Antiques, Art, Fairs & Markets
If shopping is your favorite sport, you'll love Columbia County.
The hunting here is an absolute delight, with treasures at every turn. Antiques, fine art, gifts, home furnishings, jewelry—the county's bounty is overflowing. One of the premier antiquing centers in the country, Hudson offers more than 65 shops lining Warren Street and its side roads. Throughout Columbia County, from the meandering Hudson River to the rugged Berkshire foothills, you'll find charming shops with wonderful surprises and the kind of laid-back service that is our hallmark. From our fresh orchards come crisp apples, cider, oven-hot donuts and apple pies. You can sample luscious raspberries, buttery sweet corn, peaches, or tomatoes right off the vine. In fact, you might even want to join the harvest and pick your own. In season, there are countless fairs and festivals celebrating music, antiques, the arts and seasons—but at every one, our famous local food is one of the main attractions.
