History

Van Cortlandt Manor is listed as a National Historic Landmark. A visit to the stone manor house allows you to experience life as a patriot family just after the American Revolution. The town is also home to one of the few last “dummy lights” in the United States. At the intersection of Old Post Road South and Grand Street, you can see a traffic signal on a pedestal which sits in the middle of an intersection. This type of light dates back to the 1920s, and there are only a few ones left.
SURPRISE FEATURES

In the fall, the site is home to The Great Jack-O-Lantern Blaze. The Blaze features a path of breathtaking displays made entirely of thousands of jack o’ lanterns with sound effects and synchronized lighting. Tickets go on sale in September and quickly sell out.
