A landmark estate in the Bronx, offering guided tours of its 1830s mansion, restored gardens, and carriage house.
Description
Visitors can explore all three floors of the historic mansion on staff-guided or self-guided tours, then roam the surrounding gardens. The carriage house and restored grounds complete the estate's picture. One reviewer even enjoyed a 1:1 guided tour when they happened to be the only visitor, with a guide knowledgeable about the house, its pieces, and the property. Regarded as an understated gem, it offers a peaceful, charming atmosphere with well-preserved interiors and period details that evoke a sense of the past.
