Cars of every class and era will be displayed to advantage on the great lawn outside the Ogden Mills and Ruth Livingston Mills Hudson River estate on the grounds of the Staatsburgh State Historic Site on Sunday, October 20 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. In a setting fit for The Great Gatsby, antique autos will parade before the 1895 Beaux Arts mansion with peak autumn foliage and the Hudson River in the background.
Car clubs from throughout the Hudson Valley will attend the rain-or-shine event. Food will be available from concessionaires on-site. The 79-room mansion will be open for tours during the event at a cost of $8 for regular admission and $6 for seniors and students; children under age 12 get in free.
Staatsburgh State Historic Site is located on Old Post Road in Staatsburg, off Route 9 between Rhinebeck and Hyde Park. For more information, call (845) 889-8851 or visit www.nysparks.com.
