About: Cedarmere, the historic property of prominent nineteenth-century poet, newspaper editor, and civic leader, William Cullen Bryant (1794-1878), includes the Bryant home and several other structures on a beautiful 7-acre property overlooking Roslyn Harbor.
Among other pursuits, Bryant served as editor of the New York Evening Post, a position he held from 1829 until his death and from which he pressed his anti-slavery and liberal views, including support for the newly formed Republican Party (of which he was a founder) and the candidacy of Abraham Lincoln.
The house is currently closed, but the grounds are open daily. Admission is free.
