Sunnyside

Experience a guided tour of the home of Washington Irving, author of The Legend of Sleepy Hollow and Rip van Winkle. The site contains an "expansive landscape and gardens, with stunning Hudson River views" and "charming picnic spots". The grounds reflect Washington Irving's romantic view of art, nature, and history. He arranged garden paths, trees and shrubs, vistas, and water features to appear natural, and planted an exotic wisteria vine (still growing) to envelope the house. Irving's contemporaries extensively described and illustrated Sunnyside during his lifetime. Since Sunnyside and many of its furnishings remained in the family, so it is an authentic experience of mid-19th century life in America.
