History
6
In 1850, Van Buren’s Lindenwald included a house garden, farm office, fish ponds, greenhouse, red hillside barn, hothouse, carriage barn, and a farm manager’s house that may still be seen in altered form. Van Buren expanded the property by buying additional tracts between the end of his land and Kinderhook Creek, which formed Lindenwald’s southwest boundary below the terraced fields. Produce grown there, including potatoes, apples, and hay, was shipped down the Hudson River for sale in New York City, and Van Buren experimented with many varieties of trees and plants and grafted his own fruit trees.
