The dense urban landscape of Manhattan was once an expanse of bucolic rolling hills dotted with small farms and country estates. 18th and 19th century New Yorkers built grand country residences in the former countryside of Manhattan that within a few short generations would be consumed by urban development.
Architectural Conservator TR Hamilton explores the once-rural past of the great country houses that stretched across the lost country setting of New York City. After the talk, enjoy a prosecco reception, followed by an optional tour of the mansion. The mansion tour requires an additional ticket add-on purchased during check-out.
