ACTIVITIES WHILE VISITING WESTCHESTER

KYUKUIT: THE ROCKEFELLER ESTATE

Kykuit is a preeminent Hudson Valley landmark. For architecture, remarkable gardens, art, history, and spectacular scenery, a trip to Kykuit is simply amazing. This hilltop paradise was home to four generations of the Rockefeller family, beginning with the philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil. His business acumen made him, in his day, the richest man in America. Now a historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, this extraordinary landmark has been continuously and meticulously maintained for more than 100 years.

STONE BARNS CENTER FOR FOOD AND AGRICULTURE

Formerly part of the Rockefeller estate, promotes regional agriculture through its educational programs and its demonstration gardens and greenhouses. 

PHILIPSBURG MANOR

Wander along a picturesque woodland path and enter the year 1750. Philipsburg Manor was a thriving farming, milling, and trading center owned by the Philipses, a family of Anglo-Dutch merchants. In "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow", Ichabod Crane saunters beside the manor's millpond with the "country damsels" of the neighborhood.  With its pastoral setting, rich social history, hands-on activities, and demonstrations of colonial life, Philipsburg Manor provides everybody with an unforgettable experience.

THE OLD DUTCH CHURCH

The Old Dutch Church of Sleepy Hollow is a 17th-century stone church located in Sleepy Hollow, New York. It and its five-acre churchyard are featured prominently in Washington Irving's "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow".  It is the second oldest church and the 15th oldest building in the state of New York, renovated after an 1837 fire.
