Cornish Estate Nature Walk
Join our Outdoor Leader Dawn on a peaceful walk to the Cornish Estate Ruins in the Hudson Highlands State Park Preserve just outside of Cold Spring.
As we walk we'll pause to explore the ruins of the old mansion, and work our way all the way up to the old dairy barn at the edge of the property. What was once a small dairy farm with an impressive and beautifully designed home is now little more than a skeleton of stone and concrete, slowly being taken over by the gardens and forest that once surrounded it. You can read more about the history of the Cornish Estate here.
