Checking their web site to see what other up and coming performances being presented that might interest you may help you find a fun somewhat different thing to do to add to your list of activities.

Our guide told us that Vanderbilt always intended this home to become a museum after his death, so he prepared it like one during his life. There is a planetarium on site, as well as collections of taxidermy and wildlife specimens that the Vanderbilts collected on their travels. General admission to the grounds was around 10 dollars and the mansion tour was 6 dollars. Brian helped me find my way around and made sure I had cold water on a hot day. Lots of interesting facts and drama surrounding this family! Volunteers are very helpful as well. Our guide, Margaret, was very informative. The mansion (the Vanderbilts called it a cottage and you can’t take photos inside) is full of unique artifacts/decor. Great photo opportunities, unique architecture.

It’s only about 40 miles, but traffic on the Friday afternoon that I went was brutal, and it took an hour and a half to get there. If you’re coming from NYC, it can be a long haul.
