Edith Hope Goddard Iselin (January 17, 1868 - April 5, 1970) was an American heiress and sportswoman who was the first American woman to compete as a crew member in the America's Cup yacht race.[2][3] She also owned thoroughbred racehorses.
Hope Goddard was the daughter of Mary Edith (née Jenckes) Goddard (1844-1921) and Colonel William Goddard (1825-1907) of Providence, Rhode Island, a chancellor of Brown University and a scion of a family that had accumulated great wealth from mercantile and manufacturing activities.[4] In 1894, she married Charles Oliver Iselin, a banker and sportsman who was described by Time magazine as "probably the most famed yachtsman in the U.S." during the latter part of the 19th Century.[5] The headline of their wedding announcement in the New York Times read, "Hope Goddard Engaged to C.O. Iselin, Well-Known Yachtsman to Marry Heiress of millions."[6] Oliver Iselin was himself already a millionaire at the age of 40, made wealthy by his grandfather's investments in coal mining and railroads.[7] The couple had a son, William Goddard Iselin (1903-1909), who died in childhood, and a daughter, Edith Hope Iselin (1905-2001), who married Archer G. Jones.
The Iselins owned many homes, including their primary residence in New Rochelle, New York, "All View", a palatial waterfront estate on a private peninsula overlooking Long Island Sound. They were influential in bringing the popularity of yacht racing to the communities on the shore of the Long Island Sound in Westchester County, making New Rochelle a focal point of racing activity.
Iselin also served for many years as a director of the Martha Schofield School for the education of young African-Americans. On her death she bequeathed Hopelands Gardens, where the Aiken Thoroughbred Racing Hall of Fame and Museum is located, to the city of Aiken.[12] A bust of Iselin at Hopeland Gardens was sculpted by Maria Kirby Smith.
Iselin died in her home in Aiken, South Carolina in 1970 at the age of 102.
Hope Goddard Iselin Preserve - 42 Acres
LOCATION: CHICKEN VALLEY ROAD, UPPER BROOKVILLE, NY
PARKING: AVAILABLE ON SITE
A beautiful hardwood forest, a white pine plantation, which was planted in the 1930s, and a colorful meadow comprise these 42 acres. To make this preserve more accessible to the public, North Shore Land Alliance upgraded the entrance in 2018 by converting a barely visible driveway and dirt parking area into a larger, more attractive lot covered with bluestone gravel surrounded by a rustic split rail fence. Over 100 native plants, like wood fern and witch hazel, were added to the entrance and help reflect the natural beauty of Long Island’s countryside. Stroll down the interpretive trail and you’ll not only spot or hear a variety of bird species like the Eastern Towhee, you might notice a large, out-of-place boulder called a glacial erratic in the middle of the forest. it was transported hundreds of miles to its present location by a continental glacier which covered the land 25,000 years ago and formed Long Island!
History of the Preserve
Hope Goddard Iselin Preserve contained two former fields farmed by the Youngs family. The preserve is dedicated to Mrs. Iseline, who was devoted to nature over her 100 years of life and was gifted to The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in the 1970s. In 2015, TNC donated the preserve to the Land Alliance
