The historic home of Samuel Morse. The rolling hills to the Hudson waterfront has great hiking trails. Come take a step back in time and visit the home of an inventor and artist!
I love Locust Grove. It's a great spot for picnics, hiking, photos, any day outside. In Fall they do pumpkins, in Spring, they do Fairy gardens
It's lovely
Just a beautiful place, so serene
The staff does a great job of local events and activities and the weddings are gorgeous
Very interesting history of this house that was the home of Samuel F. Morse inventor of Morse code and one of the pioneers of the telegraph. Unfortunately they don’t permit photography inside the house
I gotta say: I was impressed! So much history I didn’t expect! The grounds are resplendent with magnificent gardens and verdant grass and amazing views, and it’s all very accessible (I used my walker. Others used canes).
A lovely place to take a walk (nice because there were no dogs and they must be leashed if here), and I even “brought” my students virtually for a tiny field trip.
I love the gift shop too, and the creative ways the team comes up with for fundraising.
I had no idea that Mr Morse’ dad wrote geography books, or that Mr Morse was a painter before he became a famous inventor! Such fascinating history!
Also, just a really gorgeous, peaceful place, and I’m glad it exists.
We enjoyed Locust Grove through a private wedding reception. Although early in the year the lilacs were budding.
The facility is amazing and the architecture is cool. We enjoyed the view of the valley as well as the other mansions on the property.
Easy to get to, and in and out of. We would visit here again, after spring has fully sprung.
