"Beautiful trails and views. Highly recommend the hike. Just make sure you plan enough time to get back."
"There are many beautiful trails here. We went to tour mansion but missed it by 20 minutes. The sign said they have open houses on Sundays 12:30-2-30.They had a qr code posted for a virtual tour of this lovely Larry Rockefeller mansion."
"Saturday, September 2nd. Hiked about 6 miles with my husband from the farm, up and around the pond, then to the top of Mount Tom to the lookout and back. That was a good Hike!"
"The Legacy of Stewardship was great and educational! We did the Junior Ranger activity with our daughter as well, which took us on a nice short nature hike."
"Fabulous! Did a 3 mile walk up & around the pond & back appreciating the beautiful grounds. We also toured the mansion. We were cautioned not to ask too many questions as the tour couldn't cover everything, but still, it started out on the porch with a 20 minute lecture on conservation. We would have preferred 5 minutes of that & 55 minutes with more info on the 3 families who lived there & the home's progressive improvements"
