  • Information about Hunting Season
    We do not permit hunting at Montgomery Place, but hunting is allowed on some of the abutting properties. We encourage visitors to wear brightly colored clothing when using the trails during hunting season. Please review the hunting season schedule from the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. 

Accessibility at Montgomery Place

We strive to make Montgomery Place as accessible as possible. However, due to the topography of the area and the construction of the historic buildings, parts of the campus do not meet universal accessibility requirements. The Visitor's Center, main driveway, and path are wheelchair accessible for viewing the arboretum, mansion, and most of the immediate grounds in this vicinity. The Visitor's Center has an accessible bathroom. Please be aware that the garden paths have loose gravel and the hiking trails have rough, steep, and hilly terrain in places. The mansion is currently closed to the public.
