The Olana Partnership is a nonprofit organization collaborating with the state office of parks, recreation and historic preservation to preserve, manage, and promote the Olana State Historic Site. Olana is the historic home, studio, and 250-acre artist-designed landscape of Frederic Edwin Church, a 19th-century Hudson River School painter. The non-profit company is based in Hudson, NY. The site features a blend of architecture, agriculture, parkland, and wilderness, and operates as a public park offering panoramic views. The partnership oversees daily park access, guided tours, private group tours, and cultural and educational programs such as curator-led tours, art workshops, music performances, family activities, and free monthly outdoor events. The organization offers memberships and business sponsorships, provides educational resources including bilingual materials and scholarly publications, and collaborates with local colleges.
