黄安年文黄安年的博客/2008年3月10日发布

位于纽约威郡Somers 附近的拉斯登公园

Lasdon Park, Arboretum & Veterans Memorial

(Route 35 Somers, NY 914 864-7268)是由地区管理的免费开放的园林,5月下旬的Somers 地区已经春暖花开,这里适合双修日休闲散步,不过很少有游人前来,我们2005-06年间在Somers 住了一年,并没有来这里光顾，从该公园网址获悉，这个占地234英亩的公园，还有来自中华人民共和国赠送给Westchester, NY居民的建筑物。资料介绍说:

Lasdon Park, Arboretum and Veterans Memorial is a magnificent 234 acre property consisting of woodlands, open grass meadow and formal gardens with flower and shrub specimens from all over the world. Lasdon is also the site of the

Chinese Friendship Pavilion that was a gift from the People’s Republic of China to the citizens of Westchester. The park also houses four inspirational memorials and a museum honoring Westchester veterans.? Lasdon is available for meetings, weddings and other catered events. Visit stonecaterers for more information.

Lasdon Park, Arboretum & Veterans Memorial History

Date Acquired: 1986

Acres: 178

Background: The house that presently stands on this property was built in 1933 by Dr. Voislawsky after the original Van Cortlandt dwelling was destroyed by a fire. This three-story Colonial style mansion was modeled after George Washington’s Virginia home, Mount Vernon. In 1940 the property was sold to William and Mildred Lasdon. The Mildred Lasdon Bird Sanctuary was donated by the Lasdon family, and in 1976 the Youth Conservation Corps developed within an intricate system of trails running through a variety of wildlife habitats. After the passing of Mr. Lasdon in 1986, the estate was sold to Westchester County.
