Historic, Historical Places, Interesting Places, Historic Districts

The Boston Post Road Historic District is a 286 acre National Historic Landmark District that is composed of 5 distinct and adjacent properties. Within this landmarked area are three architecturally significant, pre-Civil War mansions and their grounds, a 10,000-year-old Paleo-Indian site and viewshed, a private cemetery, and a nature preserve. It is 1 of only 11 National Historic Landmark Districts in New York State and the only National Historic Landmark District in Westchester County. It touches on the south side of the nation's oldest road, the Boston Post Road (US 1) in Rye, New York. A sandstone Westchester Turnpike marker "24", inspired by Benjamin Franklin's original mile marker system, is set into a wall that denotes the perimeter of 3 of the contributing properties. The district stretches down to Milton Harbor of Long Island Sound. Two of the properties included in the National Park designation are anchored by Greek Revival buildings; the third property is dominated by a Gothic Revival structure that was designed by Alexander Jackson Davis.
