Lenoir Preserve is a beautiful location land right off Broadway in Yonkers. It’s an amazing place to take a walk through historic scenes and forest that was once used for a scene in the film “Beautiful Mind.”

This location is highly recommended. After a nature walk in Lenoir Preserve, visit the Hudson River Museum nearby.
