Home of Martin Van Buren - Lindenwald Estate - Another President's House - Kinderhook, New York

This week’s adventure brings me to the beautiful and historic Hudson Valley Town of Kinderhook for a visit to the Lindenwald Estate on the Martin Van Buren Historic Site. I take a walk through the 36 room mansion then around the 125 acre property to see what is was like to live on a Gentleman’s farm. I then travel down the road to visit the Ichabod Crane school house to see the connection of President Van Buren and one of my favorite authors Washington Irving. I finish of the vlog with a visit to the Kinderhook Reformed Church Cemetery to see Martin Van Buren’s final resting place. It was another amazing journey and you’re all invited. Do Come Along!!!

Thanks for sharing. I also am always interested and amazed at how the paths of historical figures cross and connect to New York state. Who would have thought Irving and Van Buren were friends? And I just recently discovered that President Grant spent the last weeks of his life in an Adirondack cabin just north of Albany. It's now a national historic site. So much to explore, so little time!

I'm a huge fan of Presidential history! I had no idea about Grants cabin. I'm going to have to look into that site!! In the fall we hope to check out 2 or 3 more in Ohio. 😁

[@peteanderson970]

@@UnkleHeavy It's interesting stuff. And I think Grant's cabin isn't too far from where Roosevelt got word about McKinely after he was shot in Buffalo. I look forward to your Ohio adventures.
