A trip to Kykuit on Saturday, Sept. 24 is planned by the Trips Committee. Kykuit, the Rockefeller Estate in Sleepy Hollow, was home to four generations of the family, beginning with John D. Rockefeller (1839-1937), the founder of Standard Oil.
This historic site of the National Trust has been maintained for over 100 years. It was a home, rather than a museum, but the family’s wealth and love of art created an extraordinary showplace. Explore the main floor of the house, the Inner Garden, and West Terrace during a 1-1/2 hour “Selected Highlights” docent tour. Preceded by brunch in Tarrytown.
