Vanderbilt Museum, Centerport, New York, United States of America
The Vanderbilt Museum in Centerport, New York is an incredible collection of natural and man-made curiosities from all over the world, set in a large mansion constructed in the early 20th century. Named after William Vanderbilt II, the original owner of the property and the collections inside, the Museum was created, as part of his last will. In addition to boasting of all the incredible artifacts Vanderbilt collected over the course of his life, the Vanderbilt Museum now also boasts a planetarium, one of the first of its kind to be constructed in the United States of America.
Visiting the Vanderbilt Museum is a must-do for anyone in or near Centerport. For visitors from out of town who wish to make the trip to the Museum, there are also plenty of other nearby cities to check out while in the area. The Museum is relatively close to Deadman’s Reef, and the city of High Port is also just some distance away. Other visitors might be more interested in going to the West End to check out the world-famous attractions in that area. Regardless of one’s itinerary, there are plenty of options for accommodations near the museum. A weekend spent at The Inn At Fox Hollow Hotel is a great option, with its immaculately appointed suites perfect for escaping the city life.
