Roslyn Landmark Society Members Enjoy Walking Tours of Historic Sites
On Saturday, June 3, 24 members of the Roslyn Landmark Society enjoyed two walking tours of the historic village of Roslyn. The tours, led by Roslyn Landmark Society trustee and Village of Roslyn trustee Craig Westergard, included stops at several notable sites, including:
- Trinity Episcopal Church, a 1906 church commissioned by Katherine Duer Mackay and designed by Stanford White
- Kirby-Townsend-Travers House, a tenant house built between 1850-1860
- The Mill Building at Cedarmere, a former gristmill that is now part of the Cedarmere historic estate
- The Conklin Barn, a 19th-century barn that has been converted into a living space
- Several local gardens
The tours provided participants with a unique opportunity to learn about the history and architecture of Roslyn.
