Hyde Hall
A 19th-century Neoclassical country mansion at the northern end of Otsego Lake, with 50 rooms. It is a National Historic Landmark.
Built between 1817 and 1834 by English immigrant George Clarke, this country estate is comparable to an English country house in scale. It is designated a National Historic Landmark. Guided tours cover the drawing room, study, servants’ quarters and original furnishings, and tell the story of the rise and fall of an immigrant landowning family. The estate is within Glimmerglass State Park, and the 1825 Hyde Hall Covered Bridge is near the entrance. Visitors must join a guided tour to enter.
