Vanderbilt Garden, Guided Tour

F.W. Vanderbilt National Historic Site, 119 Vanderbilt Park Rd, Hyde Park, NY 12538

Volunteers give free guided tours all season long! Guides will discuss the Vanderbilt era, from 1895 to 1938 and how the gardens looked and were administered then. Also, how and why the gardens deteriorated after Frederick Vanderbilt’s death in 1938 and, most particularly, how the Vanderbilt Garden Association was formed and how they carry out their mission to rehabilitate and maintain the gardens. Tours are filled on a first come, first-served basis.
Fee: FREE
