The Wilderstein Historic Site is not-for-profit house museum located on a wooded bluff overlooking the Hudson River. It was the home of Margaret Suckley, a cousin and confidante of Franklin Roosevelt, and is widely regarded as the Hudson Valley’s most important example of Victorian architecture. The estate consists of 40-acres created over a century ago in the American romantic style by landscape architect Calvert Vaux. The trail system that traverses the property is approximately three miles long and takes about one hour to hike.
Also available on weekends Guided Outdoor Tours of the landscape and the exterior of the mansion

During his career, Vaux enjoyed an important association with Frederick Law Olmsted. At Wilderstein, Calvert Vaux created an intricate network of carriage drives, walks, and trails adorned with specimen trees and ornamental shrubs. The landscape plan entails well-chosen prospect points marked by rustic gazebos and sheltered garden seats. The trail system that traverses the property is approximately three miles long and takes about one hour to hike. Vaux’s reverence for nature, always clearly and thoughtfully expressed in his work, is still evident.
Parking for the trails is available off Morton Road near Wilderstein’s Gate Lodge during hours the mansion is not open for tours.

“What is tracking?”
Saturday, May 28, 2022
9 am – 1 pm
$85 pp | Couple $150 | Family $300
Nothing in nature can move without disturbing something else. Tracking is more than just footprints on the earth. It can lead down many wonderful journeys, including to valuable resources, such as water, shelter and food sources. Tracking tells the story of nature. It tells the story of who was here, when they were here… but the rabbit hole goes deep, so prepare yourself.

Our classes are always hands on, each ingredient is explored, and children are encouraged to touch, smell and taste each of them while we prepare a delicious dish for us to share. Every class is an exploration of ingredients and a joint effort to produce a seasonal dish. After the children wash their hands, they gather around the table for a quick discussion of where our ingredients come from. working independently or in a group, the kids learn how to use different kitchen tools safely and take turns measuring and mixing. While the dish is getting ready we will often have a quick discussion about how food grows, who grows it, and how it got to our kitchen. At the end of each class, we enjoy eating our dishes together and share our feeling and thoughts about flavor and texture.
