《胡塞克瀑布村》在Grandma Moses传记中始终占有重要地位。就在这里，她的画作第一次被发现，就坐在托马斯的药店橱窗里，艺术家被埋葬在这里。然而，对于摩西本人来说，胡西克瀑布的重要性不在于她自己的事业，而在于这个村庄在美国历史上的作用。今天，霍西克瀑布，离摩西农场最近的真实城镇，是一个昏昏欲睡的小村庄，有些被现代经济发展所遗忘。然而，直到大萧条时期，这里还是一个繁华的商业中心，在胡西克河和沃卢姆萨克河的交汇处，其工业潜力得到加强。摩西与莫希肯印第安部落的狩猎场以及詹姆斯·费尼莫·库柏的故事联系在一起。有人说纳蒂·邦波睡在村子边界的一个不知名的坟墓里。摩西画了很多版本的胡西克瀑布，展示了不同季节的村庄。大部分沿著胡塞克河蜿蜒的小路，可能部分是基于城镇的旧版画。然而，这种鸟瞰图所涵盖的范围比人类任何单一优势点所能看到的都多，是摩西独特方法的典型代表。

The Village of Hoosick Falls will always have a key place in the biography of Grandma Moses. It was here that her paintings were first discovered, sitting in Thomas Drugstore window, and it is here that the artist is buried.For Moses herself, however, the importance of Hoosick Falls lay not in its connection to her own career, but in the villages role in American history. Today Hoosick Falls, the closest real town to the Moses farmstead, is a sleepy hamlet, somewhat passed over by modern economic development. However, until the Great Depression, it was a bustling commercial center, its industrial potential bolstered by its situation at the confluence of the Hoosick and Walloomsack Rivers. Moses associated the area, hunting grounds of the Mohican Indian tribe, with the tales of James Fenimore Cooper. Some say Natty Bumpo sleeps his sleep in an unknown grave in the village limits, she wrote.Moses painted a number of versions of Hoosick Falls, showing the village in various seasons. Most follow the winding path of the Hoosick River, and may be based in part on old prints of the town. The birds-eye view—encompassing more than would be visible from any single human vantage point—is, however, typical of Moses unique approach.
