The 850 acres of the Mohonk Preserve foothills includes wetlands, woodlands, cattle pastures, and ridgeland plus the Testimonial Gatehouse (where visitors entered The Mohonk Mountain House and Resort by horse and carriage), two working farms and six historic structures. The Smiley family sold the land to the Open Space Institute (OSI), with the understanding that the Mohonk Preserve would take over the management and ownership as funding allowed.
