The Rockefeller home looks as if Mr. Rockefeller left just yesterday, which is how he intended it to be. The miles of hiking trails are delightful as they pass through deep woods and meadows. There are water features as well as splendid views.

When it was suggested to me visit a farm, I thought-No Thanks. But I am glad we went..the tour of the house was very interesting and the tour guide was very informative. I learned alot and would even return with my wife if I am in the area again.

Make sure to get a guided tour of the mansion, it is absolutely worth the time and the price. Be sure and leave plenty of time to walk the beautiful trails behind the mansion when you are done. Lovely and well managed woods!

A great web of trails for snowshoeing and nordic skiing in the winter and I would imagine biking and hiking in the summer. Beautiful terrain.

Two hour Snowshoe round trip with stops at the Pouge from prosper trail and Northern Overlook from North Ridge loop. Parked our car in the lot on the West side of the park. There are signs that will warn of break-ins. So, dont bring anything that you will not take with you on your hike. Get a map online or... More

The farm is authentic and educational for families. The former Lawrence Rockefeller home is perfectly preserved and wonderful for adults to visit an era of the emergence of the conservationist movement.
