Hmva

The Hudson Mohawk Vernacular Architecture (HMVA) is a not-for-profit society dedicated to the preservation and interpretation of traditional vernacular buildings and cultural landscapes within the Hudson and Mohawk River Valleys. With a focus on early Dutch, English, and Palatine traditions, HMVA aims to conserve significant artifacts from the region's heritage for future generations to appreciate.

Through cooperation with private and public owners of historic properties, HMVA organizes monthly public presentations and study tours, surveys and records vernacular structures, and provides technical and historical advice. The organization emphasizes the importance of documenting the unique New World Dutch vernacular architecture that emerged from the blending of European traditions with local innovations and materials.
