Copland House

Copland House

You can walk in, touch, feel, and listen in the space where Aaron Copland wrote his memoirs and a number of major works.

I’m a history geek, so I love the fact that Copland’s house in Cortlandt Manor, N.Y., has been declared a national historic landmark by the National Park Service. It’s the only national landmark devoted to a American classical music composer. Copland House now houses a nonprofit organization that runs musical and educational programs. Check out the website.
