Description
Join us in the beautiful setting of Wilderstein Historic Site for a great evening of networking on Thursday, May 30 from 5-7pm!
Come spend an afternoon at one of Rhinebeck’s Hidden Treasures - The Wilderstein Historic Site
Wilderstein is located on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River. The estate consists of 40 acres created over a century ago in the American Romantic Style by landscape architect Calvert Vaux. 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.
Wilderstein’s grounds are open year-round, daily from 9am until 4pm. There is no charge to walk the grounds and trails. Parking for the trails is available off Morton Road near Wilderstein’s Gate Lodge during hours the mansion is not open for tours.
