Secrets of Llewellyn Park

This is the full length documentary Secrets of Llewellyn Park, the story of America's oldest planned community. Founded in 1857 as a Utopian enclave, the Park today is home to 150 families who enjoy its beauty and privacy, just 12 miles from Manhattan.

My mother grew up in the park (Caroline VonHessert Hodge) and I spent time there with my grand parents when I was very young. My mother loves to tell stories about exploring the park with her friends. Such a beautiful place, like a fairy tale.

Always been curious of this place. So happy I found your content and wow it seems like such a lovely place to be. I always knew it was old but nothing could have prepared me for all this😂.

I once looked at a house in Llewellyn Park about 10 years ago. The place was so beautiful and I wondered about its history but couldn't find a lot of information on the park. This video is great I couldn't stop watching it.

love the gatekeeper turkeys who take their duties very seriously...I've always wondered if I became wealthy what location would become my "dream"...and I think now I can say that if I had the means...I would move to Llewellyn Park immediately...even if it is in NJ. Thank you for this lovely video.

Only the most important people may be buried in their back yard. For a while, Edison was in a mausoleum in Rosedale Cemetery in Orange before being moved to his home.
