KINGSTON- Hudson River Maritime Museum once again embracing the spirit of giving with its annual Mitten Tree Drive. For over a decade, the museum has collected new or gently used winter wear. The items are hung on a 10’ wooden tree structure built at the museum’s Wooden Boat School. When the tree is full, donations are brought to local adult and children’s services organizations. The museum’s store will be open to receiving donations beginning, Saturday, November 25, 2023.
This year, donations will be going to People’s Place. Donations sought include gloves, mittens, hats, scarves, socks, hand warmers, and umbrellas. Items can be for all ages and can be brought to the museum store which is located at 50 Rondout Landing in Kingston. The store is open Thursday through Sunday, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. and a designated box will be available on the front porch to accept donations when the store is closed.
