House and grounds admission free for vets, half-price for family

To honor all former U.S. military personnel, Boscobel is offering free house and grounds admission to veterans who show their military ID (or even photos of themselves wearing their uniforms) at the front desk during the month of November. The Boscobel Salutes Veterans Program also includes half-price admission for up to five family members per visiting veteran.

House and grounds admission to Boscobel includes a 45-minute guided tour of the mansion, as well as access to the grounds that surround it, including expansive views of the Hudson River and a 1.5-mile woodland trail. An optional grounds audio tour with Hudson River Valley stories is also available. In addition, an exhibit, The Hudson River Portfolio: A Beginning for the Hudson River School, will be on display in the Boscobel Exhibition Gallery through Nov. 30.

Boscobel is located on Route 9D in Garrison. Hours in November are 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. (last tour at 3 p.m.). Boscobel is open every day except Tuesdays, Thanksgiving and Christmas. For more information, visit Boscobel.org or call 845-265-3638.
