Putnam County Government: Boscobel House & Gardens

Press release from the Putnam County Government:

November 15, 2021

Explore the beauty and historical significance of Boscobel’s Historic House Museum, with an expert guide or at your own pace.

Boscobel’s interiors display a celebrated collection of New York furniture from the Federal period, including rare documented examples by America’s most celebrated cabinetmaker, Duncan Phyfe. Polished mahogany, gilt bronze, and cut glass sparkle with always-changing natural light. Pastoral landscapes appear on paintings, prints, ceramics, and even furniture.

Through December 18, the house and grounds will be decorated for 19th-century holidays, with guides highlighting holiday traditions from centuries past.

All house tour tickets include admission to 68 acres of our grounds, including lush gardens and a woodland trail. Overlooking Constitution Marsh toward the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, Boscobel’s landscape showcases dramatic views of the Hudson River.

Purchase tickets here.

Special thanks to Boscobel guide Stephen Hutcheson for artistic direction of our holiday decorating.
