National Trust for Historic Preservation Seeks Curator of Historic Landscapes
Posted on February 22, 2023
Position Title:
Curator of Historic Landscapes
Position Summary
Lyndhurst seeks its first Curator of Historic Landscapes to provide onsite leadership and management of its 67-acre historic landscape and to engage local and national communities to participate in the stewardship and enjoyment of this National Historic Landmark. Lyndhurst’s Hudson River-adjacent landscape is highly significant and well-preserved but little known to garden afficionados or within the horticultural community. This is an opportunity for the new Curator of Historic Landscapes to build a robust horticultural practice at Lyndhurst, engage multiple community stakeholders and create national visibility for this little-known but seminal American landscape. Less than 25 miles from New York City situated on the widest point on the Lower Hudson River, Lyndhurst is in a band of other significant historic landscape properties including Wave Hill, The New York Botanical Garden, Untermyer Garden, Kykuit, the Rockefeller Preserve and Stone Barns.
