19th-century Georgian mansion with gardens, orchards & striking views plus regular cultural events.

👍👍 Got the opportunity to visit this hidden gem this weekend. We were looking for something local and partially indoors due the the weather. I’ve lived in Scarsdale for 10 years and never heard of this delightful home in Irvington. If you are a fan of historic homes, or restored homes, or just intere...

😐 I liked not loved this place. I've been to A lot of horror parks and VIP tickets here are pointless. Once you get past the first line your in an endless corridor leading you from one house to the next. There is no pacing of the lines and everyone is on top of one another which ruins the experience....

Landmark estate offering tours of a 40-room home, gardens & art collection, plus panoramic views.

👍👍 So peaceful and centering. I've always wanted to come here and a friend convinced me to. The tour was about 90 minutes with a look at Bill and Lois' home with possessions they had in storage during their years of homelessness. The history comes alive as we tour their home.

Park at the site of the 1779 Battle of Stony Point featuring a museum & a historic lighthouse.

👍 For our annual fall hike, my husband and I did the Van Slyke Castle Loop trail, which All Trails lists as moderate and I would say that it's pretty accurate. It starts off as a nice, flat trail. The area by the lake is paved. After the lake is when it gradually starts getting harder. There are castl...

This 17th-century stone church & its cemetery are featured in "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow."

Historic circa-1668 tavern offering Traditional American meals plus live music on weekends.

👍👍 Well kept historical site that I highly recommend. There's a museum and trails. Trails are very easy. The bridges are nice. There's a small zoo here as well. Parking on site, but be aware gate closes at 5pm.

👍👍 This house tour was terrific! The docent was knowledgeable and charming. The surrounding 75 acres just beg to be hiked. You must have a ticket to see the house but can hike at any time provided you can get into the parking lot. Russel Wright was a maverick in his designs and his house is no differen...

👍 The stain glass windows are a must. Beautiful quaint Pentecostal church. The tour talks about all the different windows and early afternoon sun comes in the main back window making it look like it's 3-D. No pictures are allowed inside was the only bummer.

1700s trading center & colonial manor with exhibits & hands-on demonstrations recreating the era.

Paintings from a famous artist & period furniture exhibited in the house where he was born in 1882.

Guided tours are offered of this historic, 18th-century home that now serves as a museum.

👍👍 Visited on a weekday, and there was no wait to get in. Free entry. The staff was helpful and knowledgeable, eager to assist. Such a nice gem in Tappan. Highly recommend visiting for folks interested in pieces of history, and families of all ages.

😐 This needs to be clear, this not a tourist destination. Though very cool to spot to visit. This neighborhood is for the wealthy enclosed mansions, they are an amazing sight in themselves. Even the residents listed here are more interesting, such as Jay-Z. However onlookers are not welcome. You will...

Laid-back B&B offering 3 airy rooms in a former firehouse, plus free Wi-Fi & parking.
