More than four years have gone into preparing this lavishly illustrated panorama of Westchester history, organized around the more than 165 sites in the National Register of Historic Places.

With 275 new full-color photographs, evocative historical illustrations, and a lively accompanying text, Gray Williams takes you on a tour of the county’s rich and diverse past, beginning with the great manors of Colonial times and ending with such 20th-century landmarks as Playland and Caramoor.

Every city, town, and village in the county is represented. The sites range from the familiar, such as Lyndhurst and Sunnyside, to the less known, such as the public bath houses in Yonkers and the African-American Stony Hill Cemetery in Harrison. HARDCOVER
