About the Book
"Upstate New York author Chuck D'Imperio takes us behind the scenes of 35 homes throughout the region that are open to the public. Each house boasts of having a famous resident from the past. Whether it be a palatial mansion in the Hudson Valley, or a rustic cabin in the Adirondacks, each home has an interesting and important story to tell. This book is meant to act as a partner to the several other Upstate New York books D'Imperio has published through Syracuse University Press"--Book Synopsis
Celebrated Upstate New York author Chuck D'Imperio takes readers on a unique tour of some of the most fascinating and little-known historic homes across the state. From the stunning neoclassical mansion of the Clarke family tucked away on a hill in Cooperstown to the ramshackle Catskill Mountains cottage of famed naturalist John Burroughs, this book offers the architectural and historic background of New York's more famous residences. Each one has an intriguing story, and D'Imperio invites you to learn not only about the homes but also about the influential people who lived in them. With detailed information on visiting hours, directions, and the author's own notes, this guidebook is essential reading for all New York State history buffs and the ideal companion for your next Upstate road trip.Review Quotes
