Historical Presentation on Lyndhurst Castle

Do you love local history?  Then join us--and bring your friends and family too--for this informative presentation on Lyndhurst Castle in Tarrytown.

This presentation will be led by Helene Rothstein. 

Helene will guide participants through a virtual tour of the 19th century mansion, describing the lives of the three families who called Lyndhurst home from decades before the civil war through the Gilded Age until 1961. She will highlight the many ways that life at Lyndhurst reflected historic events and trends during a critical period in the development of the United States. Helene will also explain the unique construction process of the mansion, which is regarded as the finest example of an American home of the Gothic Revival style, as well as the historic landscape and its connections to the Romanticism aesthetic that crossed art forms in the 1800s. The unique architectural details and fine examples of European art will be highlighted, including paintings by Courbet, Corot and Bouguereau. Helene will take participants on a trip back in time.

Pre-registration is not required to attend.
