This sprawling property spans over 3,400 acres and boasts stunning gardens, grand architecture, and breathtaking views of the Hudson River. The estate has been open to the public since 1946 and serves as a glimpse into the opulent lifestyle of one of the richest families in American history. Built in 1906 by John D. Rockefeller, the founder of Standard Oil, Kykuit is an impressive representation of early 20th century architecture. Visitors can take a guided tour of the main house which features original furnishings, artwork, and artifacts from the family's personal collection.
