You are invited to visit Castle Hill at the Crane Estate and experience the grandeur of a seaside estate, its marvelously landscaped grounds, restored Grand Allée, gardens, and Casino complex! First, you will be greeted at the door by household staff and your adventure as a “Guest of the Cranes” begins. After the tour, enjoy some free time to explore the Grand Allée and gardens. The tour is a time capsule experience that takes you back to 1929, the Crane family’s first summer in the brand-new Great House - it is the second one the Cranes built at Castle Hill and it’s a stunner!
