The back of the mansion is how you approach the site today. Once a work area which supported the mansion’s activities, a separate office, kitchen and nursery were located at the back of the mansion. Enslaved people worked in this space preparing meals for the Schuyler family and their guests. Now a garden, the stone wall approximates the size of the kitchen. We invite you to sit and enjoy the kitchen garden.
