Beautiful grounds!!
The Van Cortlandt Manor is a major historic attraction that primarily showcases the opulence and domestic life of the Van Cortlandts, a prominent and wealthy Dutch family that were highly influential in New York during the 17th and 18th century.nnDuring the summer of 2018, I brought and treated my wife and myself for a guided tour of the Van Cortlandt Manor.nnDuring our tour, we visited and strolled through the site’s heritage gardens and also entered and explored the estates’s infamous Manor House.nnIn the house, we came across an abundant collection of 17th and 18th century colonial based furnishings and our tour guide explained in great detail the life and privileges enjoyed by the Van Cortlandt Family.nnIn addition to learning about Van Cortlandt Family, our tour guide also discussed the African slaves that lived and worked on the manor, their way of life and the harsh realities they continuously faced during the 18th Century New York.nnBoth my wife and I highly enjoyed our tour experience of the Van Cortlandt Manor and definitely recommend this attraction for all visitors interested in learning about the Van Cortlandts and what America was like shortly following the Revolutionary War.
The decorations and the show were excellent. I had a great time and i will come back. The lights were amazing and because it is on the night time you feel that you enter a different dimension so i recommend it.
There's always something new so it doesn't get old. I have to add, I know it's lost revenue but the spaciousness with less crowding, how nice!
This review is for the Jack-o-lantern Blaze held every autumn including, very happily, our current Covid year. A wonderful escapist event that raises the ante for pumpkin carving with displays ranging from creepy (big spiders birthing little gourd spiders) to educational (tombstones for all the Van Cortlandts) to humorous high art (skilled sendups of works by Warhol, Munch, etc.). Logistics were very well- handled including an army of parking attendants, friendly guides at every turn of the hour-long excursion, and reduced attendance to help maintain social distances. It's an added kick to know your ticket fees go to support a local nonprofit. Note: tickets are sold online and go fast, even in mid-November.
