Eagle’s Nest – Vanderbilt Museum Historic House and Planetarium, Centerport, NY

Jump to Comments

I visited this house on July 3, 2008. I feel as if I grew up here – I used to work in the Planetarium here. It has been approximately 20 years since my last visit. I was disappointed by the state of dis-repair found in the mansion and surrounding estate.
