Once the fall season officially rolls around here to New York, it isn’t just out beautiful scenery that starts to transform! Between the moments that you’re dedicating to leaf peeping, where you can see first-hand just how much is changing around the Empire State, you can also visit historic 17th-century homes that now look like something out of a magical Halloween film.
