On Wednesday, August 10, a Trips Committee group will visit the Horace Greeley House in Chappaqua.
It was the Greeley family’s country home from 1864 to 1873. Their principal residence was in New York City.
Mr. Greeley was the editor and publisher of the New York Tribune and a presidential candidate who lost to Ulysses S. Grant. The home is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is now the home of the New Castle Historical Society.
The house and garden have been restored in keeping with the era when it was Greeley’s home. A docent will provide a tour of the lower and upper floors (elevator available).
We will have lunch at Le Jardin (across the street from the house), followed by the house tour, and then, if time allows, stroll on the main street of Chappaqua.
Sign-up as usual is in the Trips Book at Kendal’s front desk.
