Vanderbilt Mansion and Gardens in Hyde Park, NY is a perfect place to get in touch with history and nature.  If you haven’t explored the hills of the east shore of Hudson River yet, you are in for a pleasant surprise. Located just under a 2-hour drive from New York City, the treasures of Dutchess County seems to be infinite and as fulfilling as ever.

The proximity to the City and easy access to the mighty Hudson River and its steamboats running up and down from New York to Albany made this land a very desirable real-estate starting from the early 19th century. The Grand Central Railroad allowed for stable connection from the secluded places like Hyde Park or Rhinebeck to the City and established the area as and a tourist destination. As for the ultra-rich, it let them combine life on the estates with the pleasures of city life. The mansions of the industrialists started popping up on the shores of Hudson River showcasing their net-worth to the public.

The region’s historical treasures are numerous and range from the revolutionary period all the way to the mid-20th century.

Check the historic site website for the opening hours and public alerts.
