historic hudson valley: December's Season of Celebrations & Sharing: Twelfth Night Celebration. – Van Cortlandt Manor - 12/16/11 12:09 PM
  Westchester NY is rich with history and the Historic Hudson Valley is always busy creating events that bring that history to life for adults and children alike.

historic hudson valley: Westchester Events – Halloween Happenings – Jack O’Lantern Blaze - 10/12/11 05:03 PM
  The Historic Hudson Valley Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze is back – bigger and better than ever.   Every October Van Cortlandt Manor  becomes transformed into a Halloween extravaganza  with over 4000 hand carved- Jack O’Lanterns on display throughout the manor.  The tour is well worth the time and effort and the effects are really quite stunning.  I was there last year and hope to return this year – though time constraints may get in the way.  Bring your camera.  My pics (sadly) didn’t turn out because I was playing with a new camera lens that night and NOTHING worked.   Wish I … (4 comments)
