| Title | East Main Street #1 - St. Mary Catholic Church |
| Description | The old St. Mary Church was originally located on Railroad Street (now Maple Avenue) and was moved to its present location in 1890. The church was built around 1859 or 1860 for the influx of Irish-Catholics who came to Hudson in the 1840s to construct the railroad. According to diary of local merchant John Buss (1811-1876), the flag was raised at St. Mary's for the first time on May 4, 1861. St. Mary Church moved to a new building in 1970. Now known as the "Old Church on the Green" the building at one time was the headquarters of the Hudson Heritage Association and now houses a childrens' day care and community center. St. Mary Church, now located on North Main Street, celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2009. |
