Acquired in 2016, the Montgomery Place campus has significant historic and cultural assets, including the 1804–05 mansion house, a coach house, heated greenhouse, outbuildings, gardens, walking trails, orchards, and a farm stand. Renowned architect Alexander Jackson Davis made additions to the original federal style house in 1840 and again in 1860, in the classical revival style. Landscape designer Andrew Jackson Downing, considered the father of American landscape architecture, created plans for flower gardens, several walking paths, and an arboretum.
The College has begun integrating the campuses and utilizing the Montgomery Place facilities. Classical and popular music concerts, dance performances, lectures, and exhibitions are among recent events held on the estate. Montgomery Place Orchards grows more than 70 varieties of apples as well as other fruit and vegetables, and hosts workshops and tours. For additional information, visi
