We’re Making Improvements!<\/h2>\n

Van Cortlandt Manor is temporarily closed while we make essential infrastructure improvements to ensure the safety, access, comfort, and enjoyment of visitors to the historic site and restore landscape elements that are central to the integrity of this National Historic Landmark in Croton-on-Hudson, where the Croton and Hudson Rivers meet.<\/p>\n

Included in the project are capital improvements, such as sidewalks connecting the site to the adjacent Metro-North railroad station, the installation of bicycle racks and electric car charging stations, modifying historic pathways to ensure that they meet universal access requirements, and upgrading electric and data systems.<\/p>\n

Van Cortlandt Manor is home to The Great Jack O\u2019Lantern Blaze, a major driver of economic development in the Lower Hudson Valley. Throughout the year, Van Cortlandt Manor also welcomes tourists and schoolchildren to the site to explore life in the \u201cNew Nation\u201d period, when the political and social aftershocks of the Revolutionary War were experienced by a community that included enslaved Black residents as well as wealthy and working-class whites.<\/p>\n

The work will have no impact on The Great Jack O\u2019Lantern Blaze<\/a>, which will be taking place in full this fall. Stay tuned for dates and more information![\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1525275306478{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-top-color: #c3c1c1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #c3c1c1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1525275181616{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-facebook” color=”custom” el_class=”hhv-social-icon-left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FHHValley%2F||target:%20_blank|”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-instagram” color=”custom” el_class=”hhv-social-icon-left” css=”.vc_custom_1525275006082{margin-right: 20px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Finthevalley1%2F||target:%20_blank|”][vc_wp_text el_class=”hhv-social-icon-left”]<\/p>\n

An authentic jewel of the New Nation period<\/h2>\n

Explore the stone manor house and brick ferry house, wander through the heritage gardens, and stroll down a quiet country road along the Croton River. There, you\u2019ll experience the domestic life of a patriot family living in the years just after the American Revolution\u2014the New Nation period. With its extraordinary collection of colonial and federal furnishings, the manor house illustrates the opulence enjoyed by the Van Cortlandts. In contrast, the ferry house brings alive the strenuous challenges of living in post-Revolutionary America.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner content_placement=”middle” css=”.vc_custom_1525275306478{margin-top: 30px !important;margin-bottom: 30px !important;border-top-width: 1px !important;border-bottom-width: 1px !important;border-top-color: #c3c1c1 !important;border-top-style: solid !important;border-bottom-color: #c3c1c1 !important;border-bottom-style: solid !important;}”][vc_column_inner css=”.vc_custom_1525275181616{padding-top: 0px !important;padding-right: 0px !important;padding-bottom: 0px !important;padding-left: 0px !important;}”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-facebook” color=”custom” el_class=”hhv-social-icon-left” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2FHHValley%2F||target:%20_blank|”][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fa fa-instagram” color=”custom” el_class=”hhv-social-icon-left” css=”.vc_custom_1525275006082{margin-right: 20px !important;}” link=”url:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.instagram.com%2Finthevalley1%2F||target:%20_blank|”][vc_wp_text el_class=”hhv-social-icon-left”]<\/p>\n
