TripAdvisor, a large travel website, has recognized
The Hyde Collection in Glens Falls with its
prestigious Certificate of Excellence award. The
award is earned through consistently great reviews
from independent travelers from all over the world.
The Hyde Collection Art Museum and Historic
Home is rated as the number-one destination in
Glens Falls.
The museum is the legacy of Louis and Charlotte
Hyde and their gift to the Glens Falls-Lake George-
Warren County region.
“Mrs. Hyde believed art could change lives. That’s
why she donated her home and her art collection to
the community,” said Erin Coe, director of The Hyde.
“We believe that art can also change communities
– that it can be a source of economic growth and
opportunity, and create a powerful and unique
experience for viewers. We’re very honored to receive
this award from TripAdvisor and from our visitors.”
The Hyde annually welcomes about 30,000 visitors,
nearly half of whom come from the Hudson Valley,
the metropolitan New York area and New Jersey,
Connecticut and Massachusetts, officials said. This
year alone, the museum has welcomed visitors from
Canada, England, Italy, Norway and Russia and from
27 U.S. states and the District of Columbia.
