Hyde Hall is a stunning reminder of a bygone American era, when powerful English families established vast estates in their former colonies. The house itself is considered the finest example of neoclassic country mansions anywhere in the United State.

Step back in time with a visit to Hyde Hall. Begin your tour with an introductory orientation in our newly remodeled visitor center located in the estate's carriage barn. Explore the house with its nearly 50 rooms and stunning architectural details, under the guidance of a skilled interpreter. See firsthand our ongoing restoration process, and perhaps talk to a craftsman at work. Bring your picnic lunch to enjoy on the lawn as you take in the unspoiled view of Otsego Lake that inspired George Clarke to choose this site for his country house nearly two hundred years ago. You are invited to spend the day as you experience grandeur in the country.

Hyde Hall Haven't been there in a while, but the property is uniquely set on Hyde Bay, the northern-most point on Otsego Lake in Upstate NY. In addition to its enviable spot on the lake, less than 10 miles from Cooperstown, of Baseball Hall of Fame notariety, it rests comfortably within Glimmerglass State Park. A most enjoyable trip and visit for anyone wanting to relax in a state park and walk from the shores of a beautiful lake to the grounds of a once impressive private residence. by mflinton on Mon, 09/05/2011 - 19:15
