One of the most visited historic sites in Dutchess County is getting its garden restored.
If you re anything like the thousands of people who visit Vanderbilt Mansion in Hyde Park, you know about the beautiful garden on the property. For over 30 years volunteers have headed to the Hyde Park mansion to assist the Vanderbilt Garden Association.
Earlier this week kicked off the 37th year of restoration and hard work in the gardens at Vanderbilt Mansion according to Vanderbilt s Facebook page.
The Vanderbilt Garden Association explains that Fredrick Vanderbilt, who was the grandson to Commodore Cornelius Vanderbilt, was an avid gardener and created the Italian style garden containing different varieties of roses, annuals and perennials.
