      1. Montgomery Place Gardens

         Many individuals worked on the landscaping of Montgomery Place. Edward Livingston and his wife, Louise, second-generation heirs to Montgomery Place, laid out several walking trails while their daughter, Cora Livingston-Barton, designed many of the formal and rough gardens with the help of one of America’s best-known landscape designers, Andrew Jackson Downing. A third-generation Livingston, Violetta White Delafield, added the current formal and rough gardens in the 20th century. Learn more at https://www.bard.edu/montgomeryplace/.
