Figured I’d start something like this as many of us travel and explore yet I feel it is all over the place so may be this new thread can be utilized.
Wife and I visited what is called “Kykuit” (overlook point) also know as estate of the Rockefeller family.
Once 4000 acres property with its magnificent glory and the views overlooking Hudson River. To date the Rockefeller Family has exclusive right to use some of the estate facilities.
Fun fact, J.D. Rockefeller had five children and was very frugal with money. Kids were made to share one bicycle and were made to keep spending ledger which was checked weekly by the father!!!!
If you’re interested there is plenty of information online.
I am attaching some of the pictures we took. For whatever reason interior pictures are not permitted. The garage and the stables were fascinating to explore!!!
