Window into high society Hudson River mansions are steeped in tradition
The FDR Home and Presidential Library in Hyde Park are a must-see National Park in the Hudson Valley. By Kaitlyn Bennett
F
or those looking to enjoy the historic side of the Hudson Valley, there are a number of estates and mansions just waiting to be explored. Even the lifelong Mid Hudson resident will discover something new at these stately homes when they enjoy a tour of the rooms and gardens that played a vital role in shaping the history of our nation. Perhaps the most infamous home in the local area, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Home, sits proudly alongside the scenic Hudson River in Hyde Park. Visitors are welcomed year round for tours and to use the grounds for picnic lunches. The estate is also home to FDR’s Presidential Library. It is the first ever Presidential Library and he created it to preserve the integrity of his collection and provide a place for people to research him and his administration. All other Presidential Libraries, including the one in Chicago being constructed for President Barak Obama, follow the standard set by FDR and his library in Hyde Park. However,

it is the only one to be located at a president’s previous residence. “Hyde Park meant so much to FDR. He actually chose it as his final resting place too,” said National Park Chief of Interpretation Scott Rector. During his time in Hyde Park, FDR struggled to lead our nation through two of the darkest times: the Great Depression and the start of our involvement in WWII. He also fought a personal battle against the tragic effects of polio, which left him paralyzed from the waist down after he fell ill in 1921 at 39 years old, well before his gubernatorial and presidential campaigns. The home would later serve as a refuge during his tense political. Guests will also be impressed by the property’s extensive museum, located in the presidential library building. “History comes alive here,” said Rector. “When you’re in high school and learning about all this stuff, it’s very hard to convey all of it, and what’s great about this place being set aside is you learn about your history

front and center. It’s right here.” A short drive away, sits the Vanderbilt Mansion, which was ironically preserved by FDR who believed the estate was a valuable snapshot of an essential social, cultural, and political period in United States history. With its strikingly different style, this home reflects the affluence and privilege of the height of the Industrial Age. Originally known as Hyde Park, the Vanderbilt Estate has been home to influential American millionaires for more two centuries. Glorified in classic American paintings, the estate is defined by the European-like wealth and architectural grandeur favored by the Americans who called it home. Among its most famous occupants were the Vanderbilts, who have since given their name to the home and its surrounding estate. Touring the two homes together allows visitors to compare and contrast the lifestyles of two different social classes, explained Rector. The Roosevelt family was considered “old money.” They accumulated their times community newspapers
wealth through the sugar trade, banking, and real estate. The Vanderbilts accumulated their wealth quickly through the rail road and shipping ventures. “They’re like the Gates family of today, worth billions,” said Rector, who also called them “a new money family.” Visitors will enjoy seeing their formal gardens and reflecting pool. The property boasts more than 200 acres of preserved land, featuring buildings with original furnishings as well as stately gardens. The home’s beauty and it’s embodiment of the fulfillment of the American dream make it a must-see. It serves as a window into the lives of some of the most powerful American businessmen, who proved that hard work, strategy, and ingenuity were essential ingredients to the ideal American experience. Visitors can obtain a joint ticket for the FDR Home, Library, and Museum as well as the Vanderbilt Estate at the visitor’s center on the FDR property. Tickets are $18 per person with children 15 years or younger free. Senior passes are also available. For just $10, anyone 62 years old or older can gain a lifetime pass to any National Parks location, including the FDR Home and Vanderbilt Estate. For more information about either of these properties, please visit www.nps.gov. Nearby, locals can also visit the Staatsburgh State Historic Site, formerly referred to as Mills Mansion. The home is an example of a Gilded Age country home, featuring stunning architecture and views of the Hudson River. It features original furniture from its famous owners, Ogden Mills and Ruth Livingston Mills, and several paths and hiking trails ideal for picnic lunches. This summer, the staff is also proud to feature Downton Abbey themed tours. The home and its original occupants would have been the popular television show’s American counterparts. During this unique tour experience, guests will be led by a costumed interpreter and explore how servants prepared the home for a weekend of celebration. They will also learn that the Milles’ daughter married into British aristocracy, like the Downton Abbey’s Cora. times community newspapers
Servants and houseguests will interact with tourists at Staatsburgh during their deluxe Downton Abbey tours. This special tour will be available by reservation only on Saturdays at 1 p.m. and on September 12 and September 19. Children ages 6-9 are invited to participate in “Skull & Bones,” a handson, interactive program presented by a trained museum educator at their nearby classroom on the Hudson River. Children become detectives, examining animal skulls to learn about predator and prey animals. This program runs on July 12 and 19 at 1 p.m. Reservation are required. Families are encouraged to picnic before the program. On Wednesday nights at 7 p.m., visitors can also enjoy live music on the property. Thanks to generous support from the Hyde Park Recreation Department and local businesses, a number of bands will entertain against their scenic and historic backdrop. Staatsburgh is open all summer, Thursday through Sunday from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. for regular house tours. The final tour begins at 4 p.m. They are also open on July 4 and Labor Day. The surrounding park, Mills State Park, is open year round, from dawn until dusk. Visit nyparks.com for more information. For the more adventurous, plan a short getaway and head north to Hudson, NY to explore Olana. This New York State Historic Site was home to renowned nineteenth century painter Frederick Church and his family. It was built on land he visited with his summer times

teacher, Thomas Cole, for sketching purposes. Church later worked the surrounding estate as a farmer as he continued to paint. Church’s art decorates the walls of this unique home alongside cultural artefacts. Church and his wife traveled the Middle East and the influence of those ancient civilizations influenced the home’s architecture and furnishings. The home has long been described as Persian, with its name borrowed from an ancient Middle Eastern city with views of the Biblical landing place of Noah’s ark. Olana’s exotic features continue to stand in unique contrast against the beautiful backdrop of the Hudson River Valley. Admission includes a guided tour of the main house, except on Saturdays when guests can explore freely from 2 to 5 p.m. Olana staff also offers range of summer and ongoing events. Mystery Box: Student Artists at Work is an exhibit of artwork and experimental work from Bard College students featured in the gallery. This is a free exhibition open to all ages. On Wednesday, August 5, guests can enjoy “Flash Mob at Olana: A Night of Viewing Fireflies” for just $5 per person. Environmental Educator Fran Martino will help teach visitors about fireflies and their vital role in the local environment and assist them in catching an releasing some of the beautiful creatures.

Fresh off the vine
Region boasts an abudance of wineries
By Kaitlyn Bennett
T
he Hudson Valley is home to some of the most historic wineries and vineyards in the country. Thanks to a rich agricultural tradition, the area has created a unique wine culture where people can travel down scenic highways from winery to winery and vineyard to vineyard sipping on spirits that range from modern and experimental to rich and traditional. In Marlboro, there are countless wineries and vineyards to explore along the wine trail. Among them is Benmarl Winery, located on Highland Avenue. This stunning winery contains the longest continuously producing vineyard in the country. The winery has been on this property for more than four decades, but the property has been producing some of the best grapes in the region for three centuries. Currently, the winery has about four acres of grape vines on the property, with another thirty under their care throughout the area. When the property was purchased by Mark Miller, the noted illustrator, in 1957 he named it Benmarl, meaning Hill of Slate in Scottish because he purchased it from a Scottish family. He later used it to support his hobby of wine making. Today, the property supports more than a hobby. Benmarl wines are created on the property and guests are invited to take a tour of the cellar and bottling facilities. Each is crafted from Benmarl or New York State grapes. The tasting room is decorated with award winning bottles and features a diverse list of wines for guests to enjoy. Winery owner, Victor Spaccarelli, is also proud to host overnight guests at their two room bed and breakfast facilities, the Vineyard Bed and Breakfast at Benmarl. So far, he has received a number of five star reviews. Visitors are welcomed seven days a week from noon until 6 p.m. from April to December. During the weekends, visitors can come to the winery to enjoy a glass or bottle of wine with page
Benmarl Winery is the oldest continuously producing vineyard with an array of award winning wines decorating the tasting room their picnic lunch or with some of the food served by the staff, including wood fired pizzas and classic barbeque fare. The property is both pet and family friendly. This summer Benmarl will host a number of events including a Fourth of July Pig Roast, a July and August Sangria Festival, and Bounty of the Hudson. At the Bounty of the Hudson event, up to twenty local wineries are invited to Benmarl for a day of tastings and fun. Local food, including wine compliments like fresh bread and cheese, will also be available. “The Bounty is a great event to get to know all the local wineries, because they gather all at one location...it’s a great way to taste all the wines without having to go to all the different places,” said Spaccarelli. In Washingtonville, Brotherhood Winery is proud to be the oldest winery in America. Unlike many wineries and distilleries, Brotherhood was able to survive prohibition by creating sacramental wine for local churches. Today, that wine is still produced at

Brotherhood and available on their tasting menu. “The history just doesn’t compare to any other winery in the area,” said Stephanie Wagner, a winery employee who especially appreciates the historic buildings on the property. Among those historic buildings are Brotherhood’s underground cellars, which are the largest on the east coast. Guests are invited to tour the wine making facilities, including the cellars, where they can see a wide array of wines being created. A combined tour and tasting is $10. Tours are offered daily until January 1 during their normal business hours of 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on weekdays and Sunday, with extra hours on Saturday evenings. The wine list includes the wineries premium varietals, traditional Brotherhood wines, and their popular holiday spice varieties. Throughout the summer, the winery will host live music on the weekends and guests can enjoy the Vinum Café, a French American restaurant on the property, Wednesday through times community newspapers
Sunday. Brotherhood will also host two special events: a Wine and Beer Festival on July 11 and a Pig and Sangria Festival on August 22. In the fall, the entire family is invited for grape stomping. For those searching for a more adventurous winery experience, look no further than Robibero Family Vineyards in New Paltz. Perhaps their largest attraction is their prime location just a few miles from all that New Paltz has to offer, including Rail Trail, mountain climbing, and artistic experiences. “We’ve decided to be family and pet friendly and more about the whole experience,” said Ryan Selby, one of the wineries managers, who says the kids bounce house is particularly appealing to their visitors. Besides this kid friendly attraction, the family also offers regular bonfires and live music and they welcome well-behaved dogs. Visitors are encouraged to enjoy their beautiful deck by bringing a picnic lunch to pair with a bottle of Robibero wine. Visitors can enjoy a wine tasting from 11 to 6 p.m., with the last tour beginning at 5:30 p.m. They can choose five of more than a dozen wines, including two made from grapes grown on the property. Tastings are $10 and they include a logo glass to keep. This summer, the Vineyard will

In honor of the Fourth of July, the family will welcome guests for the Red, White, and Blue Celebration. Their location just two miles from the Ulster County Fairgrounds makes them an ideal place to celebrate with wine and family before catching some fireworks. On July 11, the Vineyard will host a Sangria Festival, featuring live music and a commemorative glass. During the first weekend of Augusts, visitors can enjoy a Pig Roast and Luau, a popular event that celebrates great food, a fun atmosphere, and of course, delicious wine. The family will also continue their tradition of Wine-stock, a music and wine festival inspired by Woodstock, on August 22-23. T As part of the wine trail, Robibero Vineyard, like many local vineyards and wineries, encourage their patrons to visit multiple establishments. They believe that wine is meant to be explored and enjoyed from multiple perspectives. Any tour of Hudson Valley wineries would not be complete without a stop at one of the many up and coming wineries in the area. With support from the robust wine and agricultural communities, these vineyards are hoping to leave their mark by creating unique and enjoyable wine experiences. Brunel and Rafael Winery, located on Lattintown Road in Marlboro, is one of the newest wineries in the area. Located in a historic home, they hope summer times

to produce a quality product and to work cooperatively with other local destinations to create a unique experience for their visitors. “Wine is the most noble product that I know,” said Bruno Alterescu, a Massachusetts resident and the winery’s proud owner. Alterescu explained that he chose the location for his winery for four important reasons: geography, history, people, and infrastructure. He believes that the Hudson Valley is unlike any other place in the country because it offers a winery and grape growing community which helps support new wine makers. He was also appreciative to local residents for their support in his new venture. “We have a simple goal: make good wine that people like to drink,” said Alterescu. The tasting room on the property features wines created on location by Kristoff Brown, a local with a passion for great wine and a degree in Biochemistry. Thanks to quality New York State grapes, Alterescu and Brown believe they have a product that will surprise even the most seasoned wine drinker. Guests are invited to taste their distinct products in a home like atmosphere on weekends from 12 to 5 p.m. For more information about these wineries, please visit their websites at benmarl.com, brotherhood-winery. com, robiberofamilyvineyards.com, and brunelandrafael.com. page
