No, a highway is not being built inside Philipsburg Manor, but the historic site saw the official unveiling this morning of new Thruway signs that will guide travelers to Philipsburg and other HHV attractions.

"The Authority is pleased to partner with Historic Hudson Valley to promote these nationally recognized historic locations within the heart of the Hudson Valley," said Thruway Authority Executive Director Michael R. Fleischer.

"Historic Hudson Valley is proud and honored to have its attractions featured in this Thruway project," said Waddell W. Stillman, president of Historic Hudson Valley. "The new signs will inform visiting travelers and remind local citizens that history and entertainment are just around the corner."

You can see the signs northbound along I-87 just south of Interchange 9 and southbound along I-87 just north of Interchange 10.

The signs -- quite attractive as highway signage goes -- highlight Kykuit, the Rockefeller estate, Union Church of Pocantico Hills, Philipsburg Manor, Van Cortlandt Manor, and Washington Irving's Sunnyside.

Shown above at the unveiling are HHV President Waddell W. Stillman, HHV Trustee Herb Nass, New York State Thruway Authority Board member Brandon R. Sall, and New York State Thruway Authority Executive Director Michael Fleischer.
