Young - Morse Historic Site

Surrounded by 150 acres on a bluff above the Hudson River, Locust Grove was purchased by Samuel F.B. Morse in 1847. He then hired famous architect, Alexander Jackson Davis, to remodel and enlarge the house in the Tuscan Villa style which was popular in the 1850's.

Visitors will enjoy a tour of this house with its period furnishings, accessories and collections of the original owners. The Morse Room is filled with his memorabilia, including an extensive collection of early telegraph equipment and a model of his first telegraph.
