Lynfeld is a farm located on South Road in the Town of Washington, New York, United States, near the village of Millbrook. Its farmhouse, a frame structure dating to the late 19th century, is in an unusual shape for a building in the Italianate architectural style. The land was first part of a much larger farm established sometime in the late 18th century. In the 1870s, the original owner's grandson built the main house. His son was an innovative farmer who was among the first in the Hudson Valley and Dutchess County, and in one case the country, to raise several new species of livestock. It remained in the original family's hands until the late 1960s. In 1987 the farm was listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

Mary Flagler Cary Arboretum
Mary Flagler Cary Arboretum

The Mary Flagler Cary Arboretum (1,924 acres; 7.7 km2) is a nonprofit arboretum located on U.S. Route 44 near Millbrook, New York. It is operated by the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies, and open to the public without an admission fee. The arboretum was established by Mary Flagler Cary (1901–1967), a granddaughter of Henry Morrison Flagler and heir to part of the Standard Oil fortune, and her husband Melbert Cary. After her husband's death in 1941, Mrs. Cary maintained the property, with a special interest in its maples. Following her death in 1967, she left the estate to a trust. In 1971 its trustees asked the New York Botanical Garden to oversee the property, which was then named the Mary Flagler Cary Arboretum. In the 1980s, the Institute for Ecosystem Studies was founded, and in the 1990s it became an independent, nonprofit corporation. In 2008, the Institute adopted a new name, the Cary Institute of Ecosystem Studies The arboretum contains meadow, forest, swamp, hills, and trout streams, with the following walking trails: Cary Pines Trail (1.3 miles, 2.1 km) - path through open spaces, thickets, and pine and hemlock forests. Fern Glen - boardwalk through habitat of more than 150 species of trees, ferns, and wildflowers. Sedge Meadow Trail - short boardwalk path through wetland with red maples. Wappinger Creek Trail (1.25 miles, 2 km) - follows the east branch of Wappinger Creek, a tributary of the Hudson River, through forests, marshes, and old field
