Mount Gulian will be closed for public tours on Friday, June 5th, Saturday, June 6th, and Sunday, June 7th.

Why the sudden closure? Word from the continental lines is that General George Washington himself is arriving for a historic visit (and our annual dinner celebration!). General von Steuben’s headquarters must be entirely secured for the Commander-in-Chief. 🦅

We will resume our regular tour schedule on Wednesday, June 10th. Thank you for your understanding as we host our most distinguished guest of the season!

The weather was windy and cloudy all morning, but right as the ceremony started for Emmie and Patrick this past weekend, the skies cleared and the sun popped out just in time for them to say "I do."

​Wishing the happy couple a lifetime of love and bright days ahead!

We are still dreaming about this gorgeous wedding setup inside our barn! From the cozy, vintage lounge area featuring that perfect velvet sofa, to the warm glow of bistro lights against the historic wooden beams, every corner felt incredibly personal and inviting.

And can we talk about that unique tiered cheese wheel cake?!

Cheers to a lifetime of love and happiness, Jessica and Andrew!

A day for reflection on the banks of the Hudson. 🇺🇸

Today, the grounds of Mount Gulian are quiet as we honor the memory of the men and women who gave their lives in service to our country.

From the Revolutionary War to the present day, we remember the sacrifices made to secure our freedom. We invite you to join us in a moment of gratitude for those who served and those we have lost.
