Saturday was a great day on the water with Yonkers Paddling and Rowing Club and Philipse Manor Hall State Historic Site!

Paddlers of all ages experienced the ebb of the river while learning about Phoenix and Rose, British Warships that occupied the area during the summer of 1776, and a daring Patriot attempt to destroy them.

Thank you to everyone who made this Hudson River Valley 250 & Beyond event a success.

Join us at Boscobel House and Gardens for the kick-off to the Hudson River Valley 250 & Beyond event series on July 10!

Boscobel Executive Director and Curator Jennifer Carlquist will welcome guests at the historic site’s salon for an educational talk about what life was like for Loyalists who lived in the Hudson River Valley before, during, and after the American Revolution, including Boscobel’s own Dyckman family.

While often dismissed by history as the “losing side,” most Loyalists remained in, or returned to, the United States after the war, becoming as American as their Patriot counterparts. Navigating these sites and their histories offers a richer, more nuanced understanding of America’s founding and the people who lived through it. The Loyalist sites and families discussed will bring to life the uncertainty, risk, and deeply personal, cultural, and economic ties that divided families and communities so profoundly.

Built in 1852 for Thomas Suckley and later remodeled by his son Robert in the Queen Anne style, Wilderstein’s interiors showcase late 19th-century elegance—from a Flemish library to a silk-draped Louis XVI salon.

Landscape designer Calvert Vaux created scenic trails across the grounds, and Margaret “Daisy” Suckley, FDR’s cousin and confidante, ensured the estate’s preservation for future generations.
