Lyndhurst, one of America’s finest Gothic Revival mansions, overlooks the Hudson River in Tarrytown, NY. The estate was shaped for more than a century by three families and their staff: The Pauldings, The Merritts, and the Goulds. Their influence is evident in the expansion of the main house from a country villa to a Gothic mansion, the park-like design of the grounds, and the rich furnishings and decorations inside.

Tours begin in April on Saturdays and Sundays, expand to Thursday through Monday in May, and Thursday through Tuesday in July. In late September, the mansion transforms for the Halloween season with special collections and decorations out on display. The site closes in November as the mansion changes to the splendor of the Holiday season and re-opens the Friday after Thanksgiving for tours, which run until the end of December.
