Hoosick Falls in Winter is a 1944 oil painting by the American outsider painter Grandma Moses, produced at age 84 and signed "Moses". It has been in the collection of The Phillips Collection since 1949.[1]

It shows a scene of the artist's impression of a train crossing the Hoosic River, with figures in the village of Hoosick Falls, New York watching in a peaceful winter landscape.

This painting was one of forty selected for her to tell her story in her own words in the book Grandma Moses American Primitive: "The Hill lands of the Hoosick River were the hunting grounds of the Mohicans..."[2]
