Explore Thomas Cole (Cedar Grove)

In collaboration with the Thomas Cole National Historic Site, Historicus, Inc. developed this in depth tour and gallery of the works of Hudson River School founder, Thomas Cole. We brought together a team of design, Ruby on Rails, and database experts (Charles Forcey, Liza Cunningham, and Matthew Latkiewicz) to bring to life the vision of the scholars and curators at the Thomas Cole House. This National Endowment for Humanities funded project is an ongoing effort to educate the public about the works, ideas, and artistic process of Thomas Cole. Behind the site is a content management system allowing the Thomas Cole staff to edit and manage hundreds of artworks and the text and relationships behind the site’s visual tools.
