After purchasing an admission ticket at the Carriage House Reception Center, visitors take a brick walkway that leads through the apple orchard past the herb garden and orangery to the formal rose garden with its central fountain. There are over six hundred individual plants and over one hundred and fifty varieties of roses on display in the garden. In front of the mansion, one sees a great lawn with a dramatic vista of the Hudson Highlands with the West Point Military Academy across the river and the Constitution Marsh Sanctuary directly below. There is a belvedere overlook built into the bank that provides a sweeping view of the river. Also enjoy the original springhouse, the gatehouse, and the garden and terrace to the east of the mansion.

Gardens

Situated near the springhouse on the south side of the property, is the entrance to the Woodland Trail. First opened in October 1997, the one and-a-quarter mile trail winds through twenty-nine acres of wooded landscape and features spectacular vistas of the river. Rustic structures made of native eastern red cedar are located along the trail, including a gazebo, bridge, benches and an octagonal summerhouse. A self-guided trail brochure is available at the Visitors' Center.
