THINGS TO DO - Cold Spring - Philipstown


On Route 9D, a mile south of Route 301, a finely restored early 19th century mansion sits majestically above the Hudson River. This home is a classic Federal style furnished with period pieces by Duncan Phyfe and other leading cabinetmakers of the day. Boscobel is one of the outstanding decorative arts museums in the country. Features beautiful gardens, an orangerie and herb garden, rose garden, an apple orchard, and Gate House.
  • Artists on Tuesdays

    On the second Tuesday of each month, Boscobel opens its grounds to artists who can paint and draw undisturbed. Admission is free, please make reservations in advance.

  • Food Service & Picnicking

    Groups can arrange for a catered lunch to be served on the front lawn with a view of the river. In case of bad weather, the Thompson Room in the Reception Center is available. Individuals and groups bringing their own picnic may use the tables in the designated areas. Public restrooms are located in the Reception Center.

  • Museum Shop

    The shop features a wide variety of gifts and books on the Hudson Valley, history, gardening, and the decorative arts.

    During two summer months, Boscobel is home to the Hudson Valley Shakespeare Festival which presents two plays each season under a tent on the lawn above the sweeping vista of Constitution Marsh and the Hudson Highlands.
