There are some sites that simply have to be seen to be believed, and the Wilderstein Historic Site is one of them. Located on 40 acres of woodland bluff, the gorgeous estate overlooks the Hudson River. Beautiful flowers and gardens have been arranged in the American Romantic Style, with gazebos and garden seats dotted along the network of carriage drives, walks, and trails.

The gentle, flat landscape makes the grounds accessible for everyone. Tour the mansion that was built in the 1800’s and has been remodeled and enlarged over several centuries so that it is now reminiscent of the Queen-Anne style. The site houses 15,500 cataloged objects, tens of thousands of photographs, books and other items dating from 1540 to 1991.

Address: Wilderstein Historic Site, 330 Morton Road, Rhinebeck, NY 12572, New York, 845-876-4818
