The influences of each piece were really interesting, and everything was beautiful. They even had an outdoor seating area where you could hang out and look at one of the beautiful sculptures in the back. The only reason why this review is three stars is that the security guards kept following us around the exhibits and watching us very closely as if we were going to touch something or steal something. It made me really uncomfortable. Although I loved the museum, they needed to chill a bit. I know how to visit museums being from NYC where they have pieces by the big names. I loved the artists here, though. They were really good and I was inspired.

I went with a group of friends who were reconnecting after two years of life and circumstances, pulling us apart... We wanted to catch up as much as we wanted to learn the history... The only disappointing aspect was the tour guides, while, really really nice people and kind, take their tours very very seriously... Just keep that in mind if you're looking to reconnect with friends... Maybe camaraderie is better suited to before and/or after. All in all great day.

Katie, Jim and Lexi did not rush, answered everyone's questions and made the day very special. Call before coming out to me sure a house tour is available, they respond quickly and will confirm with email. Parking is a small lot and absolutely no on the street parking! Be a good visitor and respect the neighborhood (it is a quiet residential area). Otherwise, I thoroughly enjoyed the peace and serenity.

The mansion has been closed for two years to renovate the electrical/HVAC system and recently reopened for public tours. They'll be opening the basement floor to show the bowling alley and vault sometime next year. If you're in the area on Dec 14, they'll be open for a festive Christmas event.

Check out the courtyard, too, where there were some lawn games over the summer. We also explored the education center, which seems to have an ongoing activities for kids.

In the HBO drama "The Gilded Age," the characters are keenly aware that they live in interesting times, and this establishment was featured as Mrs. Astor's home. Built for millionaire banker John Bond Trevor and his family, Glenview Mansion has been painstakingly restored by the Hudson River Museum, which is a hidden gem located in Yonkers. Guided tours are offered to six fully restored rooms (Great Hall, Sitting Room, Parlor, Dining Room, Ebony Library, and Billiard Room), which my partner and I had the pleasure of today at $20 per adult and can be purchased on their website. Since his primary residence was in NYC, this 19th-century seasonal home was used from April to December each year and sits on a 23-acre estate. The owner commuted into his office on Wall Street in New York City, about 23 miles away. Upon entering the mansion, it showcases late Victorian with the colorful tiles on the floor, the high ceilings, and the furniture and fixtures such as the Tiffany and Co. grandfather clock, a Victorian recliner chair, or the storybook tiles over the fireplace in the Great Hallway. The original home featured a wraparound balcony that could be accessed through the Sitting Room, but it was later removed in order to lower maintenance costs. Besides the mansion, the museum is a complex of galleries that present changing art exhibitions, a permanent Hudson River School collection, a planetarium, an amphitheater, and educational spaces for all ages. The staff was friendly. The interior was very well kept and organized. With great views of the Hudson River, this is a relatively short day trip, which we can recommend.

I got the big reveal on my tour and that is definitely something you don't see every day. What a fascinating history this whole place has. As the descendant of one of the town's founders, I will forever treasure knowing that generations of my family had stood within the walls of that building, since it served as the post office and tavern.

This promopted the woman at the front desk in this specific building to state that museum general admission is 1/2 price per person ($10 instead of $20) and that she could only take one form of payment. Because we wanted to pay cash, we were told that we can pay admission in the next nearby building w/ separate staff.
