‘Planting Fields: Gilded Age Estate of Long Island’s Oyster Bay’ Webinar

If you recently got married and had a nice bit of change to spend, what would you spend it on? For William & Mai Coe in 1913, the answer was simple: purchase a 400-acre estate on Long Island's "Gold Coast," have the grounds designed by world-famous landscape architects, fill it with rare species of trees and plants, and then build a 65-room mansion for the cherry-on-top. Fortunately, it's still all preserved over a century later, and ready to be explored.
