Trenton Falls: Stilled Waters | Still Here brings focus to Native relationships with our local landscape through a focus on the art of Trenton Falls.

Trenton Falls was a major tourist destination between 1825 and about 1895 when a dam project marked the end of the “golden age” of the site. During its heyday, the falls and the nearby resort hotel attracted tourists interested in experiencing the “new” natural wonder. The Haudenosaunee peoples knew the falls first as Tetwaˀsʌthaˀkó, meaning Great Falls. Paintings, prints, and drawings show the falls as they once were, allowing viewers to imagine what it was like to hike Trenton Gorge when water rushed through it.

his exhibition complements Munson’s summer exhibition, American Landscapes from the New-York Historical Society, opening June 14, which highlights the resplendent vistas of the Hudson River and Catskill, Adirondack, and White mountains and features the artists known as the Hudson River School for their shared exploration of the region’s natural spaces.
