Reviews of Falaise Museum
"It's a very old tudor style home. You can definitely smell the old. The tour guide was nice and informative. Didn't catch his name since he didn't introduce himself. The property needs better care. Basically, it's an old Summer home. Think your grandparents house with lots of old books, statues and furniture. The conservancy group should up there game. Visit the Mansions on the Hudson and embrace the story of the era of when the Guggenheim family resided. Emphasize more about Guggenheim and Goddard."
"We went on the Falaise Mansion tour for $15 per person and that’s after the $4 park entry fee (walk in) if you are driving that’s $15 per car. There are no self guided tours in the Mansion or castle these are paid tours only. And very specific times as they are limited in staff. The park does not offer both places for tours on the same day( Saturday and Wednesday). The tour overall was interesting, they did not allow photography inside so you better be paying attention!"
"Nice tour. I've been to many historic homes. This one is a bit bland but nice. Docent Fred gave good historical context."
"The Falaise Museum is a magnificent mansion located on the Sands Point Preserve, which was once the estate of both the Gould & Guggenheim Families. In August of 2022, I brought and treated my wife and myself for an enjoyable guided tour of the Falaise Museum. During our tour, we learned that Falaise Museum was once the summer residence of Harry Guggenheim, an American businessman, ambassador, aviator, publisher, philanthropist and prominent member of the Guggenheim Family. Built in the 1920’s and designed by notable architect, Frederick Sterner, the house’s exterior very much resembles a 13th Century Norman manor and it’s interior evokes a medieval style atmosphere due to its immense wood beams, high archways and multiple stone fireplaces. What my wife and I found most impressive about the Falaise were its considerable and well preserved furnishings, many of which were either Medieval or Renaissance antiques purchased by Harry and his wife Caroline. We also admired the mansion’s position along the coast because it provided us with gorgeous views of the Long Island Sound Our tour guide also did a great job on acknowledging the prominent historical figures that visited Falaise, most notably, aviator, Charles Lindbergh and pointed out a one page paper that was written by Lindbergh during one of his stays at the estate. Both my wife and I would definitely love to thank the Sands Point Preserve for providing us with a chance to visit and tour the Falaise Museum. We’d also thank our tour guide for providing us with a comprehensive overview on the Guggenheim Family, the history and distinct features of the Falaise Museum, for showcasing and explaining the house’s many rooms and furnishings and for his discussions on Harry Guggenheim and his significant contributions to aviation, publishing and art. Both my wife and I definitely recommend for everyone to visit and explore this awe inspiring attraction!!!"
"We took a tour to visit this place, otherwise you'll miss it, cause it in closed area. Tours are available on Thu-sun at 12, 1, 2, 3 and it is 15$/adult. You can take photos only outside of the house. The house is beautiful! Full of history! Our guide was detailed, not boring."
