Our
Grounds
and Venues
Our grounds are open for picnicking, walking, and exploring daily from 10:00am – 4:00pm. Across Caramoor, you’ll find gardens, historical features, and Sonic Innovations installations. You’ll find tables to dine on the Pavilion Patio year-round and picnic tables on East Lawn and the Picnic Lawn in the fair-weather months. The Pegasus Gates, Italian Pavilion, and Cedar Walk Gazebo are features the Rosens enjoyed when this was their country estate. Sculptures of Zephyr and Flora are tucked into The Tapestry Hedge which also features a peony and iris border blooming in late spring, a pergola covered in roses in summer, and the sensory garden surrounding the dovecote fountain in the Marjorie Carr Adams Sense Circle. Throughout the grounds, you will find our seasonal Sonic Innovations sound art installations
The Rosen House
Once the country home of Walter and Lucie Rosen, the Mediterranean-style historic home remains fully furnished with the works the Rosens gathered in their appreciation of artistic skill through the centuries. Learn more about the family and their unique collection on a guided tour.
Music Room
At the heart of the historic Rosen House, the Music Room is a soaring yet intimate space used for chamber music, recitals, American roots music and jazz performances, as well as lectures and Caramoor's popular Afternoon Teas. You’ll find yourself surrounded with Renaissance furniture, stained glass windows and architectural elements the Rosens collected and installed in this unique space. Only covered beverages are permitted inside during performances.
Venetian Theater
Caramoor’s largest and signature music venue takes its name from the historic arches and columns that provide a striking backdrop for our live concerts. This fully tented space, surrounded by greenery, offers a beautiful setting for performances. Only covered beverages are allowed inside.
Spanish Courtyard
This intimate, partially covered space occupies the center of the historic Rosen House. Here you will feel transported to a Mediterranean villa and enjoy viewing the night sky during evening performances. Only covered beverages are allowed within.
Friends Field
This central lawn is used for programs throughout the fair-weather seasons. With no built-in seating, you’ll need to bring your own blankets, lawn chairs, and picnics to enjoy during performances presented on the covered stage. Food and drinks are allowed (and encouraged!) - just remember to throw out or recycle your items before you leave.
Sunken Garden
This historic garden is an outdoor performance space and true gem on Caramoor’s grounds. Whether you encounter the garden on a stroll of the grounds or take part in our wonderful Music and Meditation events, it is a must- see location on your visit. Food and drinks are allowed - just remember to throw out or recycle your items before you leave. Note that there is no seating in the Sunken Garden, so you’ll need to bring your own chairs or blankets.
Education centre
The Diane Moss Education Center is a resource for visiting school groups and community partners. Public classes and programs also take place here. Its flexible spaces can be reimagined for many purposes.
