Details
Event Type Walk/Hike Description From farmland to pleasure ground, from national historic site to college campus, much has changed at Montgomery Place over its most recent 220 year history. We’ll walk the trails, meander through the meadows, and stroll the gardens while observing modernization’s impact on the land and water, not to mention the diverse peoples whose history here really goes back thousands of years. Enjoy a ramble through the remnants of a once romantic Morning Walk. Take in spectacular views of the Hudson River and Catskill Mountains while exploring the Wilderness trails in the ravine formed by the Sawkill Creek. Historical highlights include cascading waterfalls & the hydropower station, the allée of the Arboretum through the East Lawn, the Coach House, and the Rough and Formal Gardens.
