Martin Van Buren National Historic Site: Transportation Analysis Report
Martin Van Buren National Historic Site (NHS) includes the home of Martin Van Buren, the country's eighth president, where he lived from 1841-1862. Van Buren, born in Kinderhook, New York, purchased the mansion and property during his presidency and came to live there after losing his presidential reelection to become a gentlemen farmer. His land, together with his home, is also known as Lindenwald. The original Martin Van Buren NHS, designated in 1974, includes the mansion and surrounding 39 acres. The Public Lands Management Act of 2009 expanded the park to 300 acres, securing much of the surrounding agriculture land and open space of the original Van Buren property. Temporary buildings house park offices and a small visitor center. The visitor center offers an introductory film, books, and park information. Outdoors, visitors can park in the lot, tour the Lindenwald mansion, walk the Wayside Trail, and attend special events throughout the year.
