Kykuit, the Dutch word for “lookout,” is the name of the Rockefeller mansion in the Hudson River Valley, which was the residence for four generations of the oil tycoon and philanthropist family. Completed in 1913, the house is in neo-Georgian style, and its 250 acres feature vast gardens filled with beautiful sculptures by some of the world’s greatest sculptors.

The house overlooks the Hudson River with a view of the New York City skyline twenty-five miles south, and the ground floor and basements may be toured year round with a docent.

Art lovers will be amazed at the priceless works hanging on the walls; the Rockefeller’s collection of the 20th century art includes pieces by Chagall, Picasso, and Warhol. Chinese antiquities and European ceramics are also on display. Another highlight of the tour is the carriage house, which contains the family’s classic cars and horse-drawn carriages.
