Revisit your favorite fairy tales at Lyndhurst this Christmas

Located in Tarrytown, New York, Lyndhurst is a Gothic Revival mansion overlooking the Hudson River. The sprawling estate was designed in 1838 by Alexander Jackson Davis, and is perfectly complemented by beautiful park-like gardens and grounds and an extensive collection of original art.

The mansion once served as the home to several noteworthy personalities who include railroad magnate Jay Gould, merchant George Merritt, and New York City mayor William Paulding.

Today, Lyndhurst is open to the public for guided tours, and is available as a venue for weddings, celebrations, and other private events.
