Inside/Outside Tour 2025

Inside/Outside: From Mansion to Bowling Alley 

Do you want to see Lyndhurst from the inside and the outside? Then this tour is for you! You will see the mansion’s two main floors filled with original decorative art and furniture from the three owners. You will learn about the estate’s 180-year history as well as the families’ lavish lifestyles at the height of the Gilded Age. After visiting the Mansion, you will take a leisurely stroll towards the Hudson River, wending your way past restored “outdoor rooms,” the site of an elaborate treehouse and rare trees and gardens. While you take in the best views of the river, you’ll hear about several outbuildings and the estate’s “recreation center.” The 90-minute tour ends with a visit to the restored 19th-century bowling alley with an exhibit on Lyndhurst owner Helen Gould and neighbor Madam C. J. Walker in the North Parlor. Then you will continue to the South Parlor which features decorative arts, 1895 wicker furniture, and of course the 1894 bowling lanes!
