WALKING TOUR

12. COTTAGE AVENUE GATE

“The Cottage Avenue is like the heart of the owner – wide open with welcome to all friends.”

— Benson J. Lossing, Vassar College and Its Founder, 1867

Statues of a fierce, wild boar and a cunning fox once capped these stone piers marking the main entrance to the family’s private area of the estate. In 2012, the piers underwent repointing and repairs.

Retrace your steps and rejoin the South Avenue carriage trail.
