Tour 18th-century manor and pumpkins
Historic Hudson Valley is a non-profit education organization operating multiple historic sites across the region, including Van Cortlandt Manor in Croton-on-Hudson, where families can tour an 18th-century estate and attend seasonal events like The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze, an autumn spectacle featuring over 7,000 hand-carved illuminated pumpkins.
Outdoor · All ages welcome
The Great Jack O'Lantern Blaze runs select evenings in October; advanced tickets must be purchased online and are not sold on-site.
Children 2 and under get free admission to Blaze and do not need a ticket.
FLEX tickets allow entry any night the event is open with no reservations, plus a complimentary food item and apple cider or beverage.
The 18th-century Van Cortlandt Manor grounds provide the backdrop for Blaze, with a paved walking trail through pumpkin displays and themed areas like a Pumpkin Planetarium and working carousel.
