Beacon is a thriving artists’ community that has risen from the post-industrial era. It is around 54 miles (87 kilometers) from New York City and is easily accessible by train. Europeans settled in this area in the 18th century, at the villages of Matteawan and Fish Landing, which were among the first colonial communities in the country. Formerly an industrial city that has gone into decay, it is now a thriving community for artists. It is now home to Dia Beacon, one of the biggest contemporary art museums in the world. Located on the banks of the Hudson River and within the shadows of Mount Beacon, nature and outdoor lovers flock to this city to enjoy nature as well as its many attractions and things to do.
