Locust Grove, National Historic Landmark estate in Poughkeepsie, United States.

The 200-acre estate includes an Italianate mansion, carriage house, ice house, and five miles of trails overlooking the Hudson River.

Samuel Morse, the telegraph inventor, commissioned architect Alexander Jackson Davis to design this mansion, completed in 1851 on land purchased in 1847.

The mansion displays over 20,000 pieces of fine and decorative arts collected by the Young family during the early twentieth century.

The estate includes a visitor center with art galleries, museum shop, and educational classrooms, offering guided tours of the historic mansion.

Henry Livingston Jr named the estate after black locust trees upon purchasing the property in 1771, establishing its enduring identity.
