Fodor's Review:

Artists, writers, and musicians from all over the United States come to this highly regarded artists' colony to work. The estate was built in 1899 by philanthropist Spencer Trask as a gift to his wife, Katrina. Although you can't visit the house, you can tour the grounds, which include a formal rose garden with fountains and an informal rock garden. From mid-June through the racing season, tours are offered at 11 on weekends.

  • Cost: Grounds free, tours $5
  • Open: Daily dawn-dusk
