Details

Event Type Historic Site Tour/History Description This September, take a stroll through history with the New Castle Historical Society's Greeley Farm Walking Tour. Much of the land that is now the center of Chappaqua sits on what was once Horace Greeley's 78-acre farm, where he and his family spent their summers from the 1850s to the 1870s. The tour starts on the front porch of the Greeley House, home of the New Castle Historical Society, and travels to ten stops to explore how they've changed from the mid-19th century to today. Along the way, discover the ecological features that drew the Greeleys to Northern Westchester, learn how the landscape impacted how they lived, and witness how their legacy shaped the community we see today. The Greeley House is a five-minute walk from the Chappaqua Train Station and just a short distance from the Saw Mill River Parkway. There is plenty of street parking nearby on King Street and Senter Street, as well as municipal lots off North and South Greeley Streets.
