Governor George E. Pataki signed into law legislation establishing the new Hudson-Fulton-Champlain Quadricentennial Commission on February 13, 2002. This Commission will plan and develop the 400th anniversary celebrations of the voyages of discovery made by Henry Hudson and Samuel de Champlain, as well as 200th anniversary of Robert Fulton's steamship voyage along the Hudson River. Similar legislation has been proposed at the federal level as well. This is the beginning of our own efforts on the Quadricentennial. We will be adding original essays, primary documents, and more in upcoming months. For now, please join us in reviewing the wealth of information that is already available – and in visiting the many dedicated individuals and organizations who have kept these explorer’s legacies alive.
