Description

Boscobel’s director, Jennifer Carlquist will take you and up to nine guests behind-the-scenes of this esteemed Historic House Museum containing one of the finest collections of decorative arts from the Federal period. Tour this neoclassical mansion, then enjoy the 68 acres of grounds featuring lush gardens and a woodland trail. Located in the heart of the Hudson Valley, Boscobel directly overlooks Constitution Marsh toward the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, showcasing dramatic views of the Hudson River.


Built between 1804 and 1808, Boscobel was originally the dream house of wealthy Loyalists. By the 1950s, after falling into disrepair, it was demolished. Preservationists saved as many architectural fragments as possible and reassembled them fifteen miles north, where the Neoclassical mansion was restored back to—and even beyond—its original grandeur. Boscobel was saved as a beautiful piece of art.
