The Nyacks portrays that history, with more than 200 stunning photographs from the archives of the Nyack Library. Nyack, Upper Nyack, and South Nyack lie some 25 miles north of New York City and in early days were the center for boatbuilding and shoe manufacturing. In the late 19th and early 20th centuries, Nyack's thriving downtown attracted residents from other parts of Rockland County. Nyack went on to become a popular destination for travelers, with several hotels and educational institutions, including a female seminary and a military academy. Nyack is also the birthplace of artist Edward Hopper and the longtime residence of actress Helen Hayes and writer Carson McCullers.
