Boscobel House and Gardens

Minute Tours - Boscobel House and Gardens

For the first installment in a segment called 'Minute Tours,' we take a quick look at Boscobel House and Gardens, located in Garrison, NY.

I got a chance to stop by and check out the gardens, and the Make-Do Exhibit in the house. It's definitely worth a short day trip if you are within driving distance.

Description from Official Website:

Boscobel House and Gardens is considered one of the leading historic house museums in the Unites States. Its Neoclassical mansion holds an exceptional collection of New York furniture from the Federal period. Sited in the Hudson Valley, fifty miles north of Manhattan, Boscobel directly overlooks the Hudson River and West Point. (
