Things To Do
Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate
Visit Kykuit, home to four generations of the Rockefeller family. Tour the expansive terraced gardens filled with 20th century sculpture, take time to see the antique auto and horse-drawn carriage collections. The remarkable beaux-arts landscape was created in the early 1900’s. The Rockefeller’s outstanding art collection includes works by Henry Moore, David Smith, Louise Nevelson and Alexander Calder as well as Picasso tapestries.

Washington Irving's Sunnyside
Spanning over 10 acres of lush green land along the Hudson River lies Washington Irving’s beautiful home, which is now a scenic historic attraction.

Visiting this site is like getting lost in an enchanted world, created by the beloved writer who put this town on the map.
