Boscobel House and Gardens
Boscobel
A Federal-style mansion and rose gardens with lawns overlooking the Hudson River and West Point. Shakespeare performances take place here in summer.
Originally built in 1808 in the Federal style, the mansion was moved here in its entirety and rebuilt in the 1950s. Its interiors display early American decorative arts. The highlight is the lawns and rose garden. Standing at the cliff edge, you can look out over the Hudson River, Constitution Marsh and West Point Military Academy across the water, one of the classic river views of the Highlands. In summer, the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival stages performances in a tent and is very popular. The site is about 2 km from the village of Cold Spring.
