Astors' Beechwood

Astors' Beechwood Review

The original mistress of this oceanfront mansion, Caroline Schermerhorn Astor, was the queen of American society in the late 19th century; her list of the "Four Hundred" was the first social register. Her husband, William Backhouse Astor, was a member of one of the wealthiest families in the nation. As you're guided through the 1857 mansion, actors in period costume play the family, servants, and household guests. Murder mysteries and musical events are performed July through October; Victorian holiday events are held in November and December.
