Significance: A large house with Federal style details situated on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River, Wildercliff was constructed in 1799. Wildercliff was the home of the Reverent Freeborn Garrettson (1752-1827), an early circuit riding Methodist minister, and his wife, Catherine, a daughter of Judge Robert and Margaret Beekman Livingston of the estate, Clermont. Wildercliff is one of twenty-one contiguous estates along the east bank of the Hudson River between Stratsburg and Tivoli, New York.
