Activity Recap
On Saturday, 10/28/06, we converged upon Lyndhurst Mansion in Tarrytown, NY for a wonderful
private tour and day of fun and exploration.
Our tour guide did a great job of giving us both the history and the gossip of the mansion. As we
had the tour to ourselves, we were able to look around to our hearts content and view each room.
What was supposed to be an hour long tour, took closer to two! The day was a beautiful, sunny
fall day and the views of the Hudson River were breathtaking. At the end of the tour, the group
was able to take advantage of the gorgeous weather and walk the grounds. We walked to the
former greenhouses and gardens. Unfortunately, on the way, there was a display of
SCARECROWS on the lawns! I find them terrifying. Did group members take advantage and tell
me the scarecrows were pulling themselves down off of their sticks? Yes, of course. That's ok, I
remember all.
We spent a great deal of time in the greenhouse/gardens, and just enjoying the afternoon. On the
way back to the parking lot, we stopped and explored the former stables (now converted into a
cafe). The majority of us continued the day at a nearby diner. In all, a fun time with friends, visit to
a great mansion where we received special treatment, and a great special activity.
