Planning Your Visit

Exploring Our Grounds

Exploring Our Grounds

  • Please park only in the Visitors Center parking lot.
  • Please help us maintain the beauty of these grounds by carrying out whatever you bring in. Trash bins are located only at the Visitors Center. 
  • Please do not disturb or collect plants, animals, or rocks.
  • When walking the trails, please remain on the paths to assist with erosion control and reduce incidents of Lyme disease.
  • The Sawkill Trail and South Woods Trail have uneven terrain and are occasionally steep and muddy. The West Lawn Trail features sloping terrain.
  • Pets are not allowed on the property.

Notices

  • Please Refrain from Smoking
    The Montgomery Place Campus is a nonsmoking property. Please help us prevent fires and preserve this unique historic location by refraining from smoking anywhere on site.


     
  • 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.
