Description

The Vanderbilt Museum is named for William Vanderbilt II (1878-1944), and sits on his former 43-acre estate, Eagle's Nest. Once a week during the summer, the museum offers a 'living history tour' of the museum, where costumed staff enacts a performance about the era of the Gold Coast socialites, drawing on information gleaned from Vanderbilt's personal journal and historical archives about other owners and workers. The grounds also features a planetarium with a gift shop, a lobby, a ticket office, a Konica Minolta GeminiStar III projector, full dome display projector, and surround-sound technology.
