Olana State Historic Site is located in Columbia County, New York, USA. The site is the former estate of artist Frederic Edwin Church. Olana is located in the south part of the Town of Greenport and is south of Hudson, New York and east of Catskill, New York.
The house is a mixture of Victorian and Persian styles. A collection of 40 paintings by Church is on exhibit. Church was a prominent member of the Hudson River School of painting.
The grounds, now more than 250 acres, exceed the amount of land that Church had purchased for his home. Extensive scenic views of the Hudson Valley can be seen from the property and the house.
