For women with a love of history New York's Hudson Valley is home to dozens of historic mansions that offer tours, museums and picnicking, as well as evening events like concerts, plays and dances. These historic homes include Lyndhurst, Boscobel and Kykuit and are scattered through Sleepy Hollow County. They are a short drive from New York City through scenic countryside and are also accessible through public transit for those metropolitan women looking to toad trip without a car.
What makes these historic Hudson Valley sites so great for a single woman's road trip is their proximity to other sites of interest, including Bear Mountain, a state park with excellent swimming and hiking options; the town of Cold Spring, known for cute boutiques and antique shops; and the beautiful West Point campus which of historical, architectural and football interest. Excellent restaurants and small pubs abound through this part of the Hudson Valley.
Because of the diversity and concentration of offerings, single women in the New York City area can make multiple road trips out of the Hudson Valley area as it would take weeks to explore all of it. Additionally, women interested in road trips should remember that the Hudson Valley has excellent seasonal offerings focusing Autumn leaves, Halloween (it is Sleepy Hollow County, after all), Christmas and more.
