The Vanderbilt Mansion is a National Historic Site in New York that’s representative of the gilded age of the roaring 20’s. The sprawling country estate was one of several homes built by Frederick William Vanderbilt. The 54-room Beaux-Arts style home was built in 1896 and at the time, was a marvel of mechanical systems, infrastructure and landscaping. American renaissance interiors are a blend of salvaged items and period reproductions. To see the mansion’s interior, you must join a guided tour. Tours begin at the park’s visitor center. The 1-hour walking tour involves approximately 100 stairs. Outside the home, the grounds are open from sunrise to sunset and feature walking trails, formal gardens, and summer concerts on the lawn.
