Audubon’s New York Home and the Minniesland Park
Forty years ago Audubon park was a premier New York residence fronting the Audubon river with grand trees and a shaded avenue. Milas Audubon recalls the era in 1843 when no railroad separated the beach from the woods and the estate housed Audubon’s sons Victor Giffard and John Woodhouse with Madame Audubon nearby. Misfortunes cooled income, yet she ran a side school for local children, guiding their early education alongside her husband’s natural history work.
