The property, at 207 Bryant Road, was the country estate of the prominent 19th century poet, journalist and conservationist William Cullen Bryant.
Bryant, editor and publisher of the New York Evening Post, returned every summer to the homestead starting in 1865 until his death in 1878.
Visitors also can walk the trails on the 195-acre property, including the Rivulet Trail, which hugs the Rivulet, a trickling stream immortalized by Bryant's 1823 poem of the same name. The property also features the Pine Loop, with pine trees that reach the heights of 150 feet, among the tallest in the Northeast.
