Martin Van Buren National Historic Site

Lindenwald was the home of Martin Van Buren, the 8th President of the United States and a native son of Kinderhook. Van Buren purchased the 36-room mansion in 1839 and lived here until his death in 1862.

The estate is managed by the National Park Service and offers ranger-guided tours of the mansion during the warmer months. The grounds are open year-round at no charge, with walking paths through the historic landscape.

The site connects to the Luykas Van Alen House via the 1.7-mile Dutch Farming Heritage Trail, making it easy to visit both landmarks on foot or by bike.
