Home > Things to Do > Arts & Culture > Mansions & Arboretums Visit the famous Gold Coast region where New York’s elite built their Long Island mansions, castles and gardens perched high upon the bluffs during the 1920s “Gold Coast” era, immortalized in F. Scott Fitzgerald’s “The Great Gatsby.”

Many Long Island mansions, including the castles at Sands Point Preserve, the Vanderbilt Museum, and the Frick Estate at the Nassau County Museum of Art, are open to the public as tourist attractions in Long Island.

Several venerate and aptly explain the legacy of many of these well-known and famous people from New York.
