Hornets are not protected species so I'm pretty sure it is legal to find and keep a hornet's nest. Laws may vary from state to state though, so to be sure check with your state natural wildlife division (they are usually online). Keep in mind that if it's on private property, or in a national or state park, it may be illegal to take it for that reason. Most state and national parks prohibit collecting anything since everything there is protected for the good of the public. If it's private property, you may be trespassing and that is a definite No No. You need to check with the land owner or Park Rangers to see if you can collect it in those cases.
