Today we welcomed our old friend Lola and met our new friend BB! Our membership boasts some of the sweetest pups around and you never know which cutie you might run into when taking a stroll on the estate. 🐕‍🦺🚶🏻🏰

Our grounds remain closed for the season to vehicular traffic, however, dog walkers entering from the trails are still welcome to roam the grounds!

Those traveling by foot or four legs may enjoy our estate at their own risk (watch out for slippery sections.)

As a reminder, all fluffy friends must remain on a leash to ensure their safety and that of other walkers.

We at Lyndhurst do not agree with Punxsutawney Phil's verdict of 6 more weeks of winter, and hope to see our green lawns and flowering trees soon!⁣

Such a bright and brisk day. Can't help but feel bad for our fountain piece, which really needs some more clothing for this type of weather!⁣

Get your tickets now for our Winter Theater!

M&M Performing Arts Company, Inc. presents Othello, by William Shakespeare, performed in the accessible first-floor parlor of our historic mansion.

Widely regarded as one of Shakespeare’s greatest works, join us this winter in our Gothic halls to watch this famous story of vengeance, deception, and betrayal.

Ari Mack stars as Othello, the noble Moor of Venice and commanding warrior-general with Michael Muldoon as Iago, the ambitious lieutenant and masterful manipulator. Spurned for promotion, Iago’s relentless quest for vengeance against Othello and his wife, Desdemona, played by Emma Freeman, plunges them into a stunning web of deception and betrayal.

Tickets can be purchased on our website through the link below -> https://lyndhurst.org/events/winter-theater/

"...Black are my steps on silver sod;⁣
Thick blows my frosty breath abroad;⁣
And tree and house, and hill and lake,⁣
Are frosted like a wedding cake."⁣
-Robert Louis Stevenson⁣

After some snow, the mansion certainly looks to be deliciously covered in icing!⁣
