 Tuxedo Park is one of the most unique villages in
the Hudson Valley today, featuring a deep history known for its
elegant mansions, carriage houses, ballrooms, stables, fish
hatcheries, gardener’s cottages and jockey’s homes. Situated in
the Town of Tuxedo and approximately 28 miles north of New York
City, the Village features an entrance and exit strictly controlled
by two private police gates. Established in 1866 by Pierre
Lorillard, the 2,300-acre woodlands surrounding three lakes were
intended as a private hunting and fishing reserve and exclusive
retreat. Listed on the National Historic Register, the Park has many
distinctive homes designed by internationally famous architects. In
1952,Tuxedo Park became an incorporated village. A one-hour commute
to New York City by train or bus, Tuxedo Park has community water

Forest ski area is only minutes away. A private school is located in
Tuxedo Park and shopping facilities are abundant both in the town
itself and close by off Route 17. The Woodbury Commons shopping
outlet mall is just 15 minutes to the north. The prestigious Tuxedo
Club includes a private club with swimming pool, tennis and golf, a
dining room, bar, ballroom and small apartments for weekend or
