House in the Gardens of Locust Grove, October 2008

Overlooking the Hudson River in Poughkeepsie, NY, the 180-acre Locust Grove Estate
includes an Italianate villa designed in 1851 by architect Alexander Jackson Davis for artist and inventor Samuel F. B. Morse. The estate, with miles of of carriage roads, landscaped grounds, historic gardens and Hudson River views, was preserved as a museum and nature preserve by the Young family, whose collection of art and antiques is exhibited in the mansion's 25 rooms.
