Kykuit, The Rockefeller Estate
A Hudson Valley landmark, this hilltop paradise was home to four generations of the Rockefeller family, beginning with the philanthropist John D. Rockefeller, founder of Standard Oil. For architecture, remarkable gardens, art, history, and spectacular scenery, a trip to Kykuit is simply amazing. Your tour will take you to the main rooms of the six-story house. Then you will move on through the expansive, terraced gardens containing Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller's exceptional collection of 20th-century sculpture. Artists represented include Pablo Picasso, Henry Moore, Alexander Calder, Louise Nevelson, and David Smith, among many others. It is now a historic site of the National Trust for Historic Preservation, which has been continuously and meticulously maintained for almost 100 years.
