Publisher Info

  • William K. Vanderbilt II, the great-grandson of Cornelius Vanderbilt (who created the family fortune by building the New York Central Railroad and trans-Atlantic shipping enterprises), built his Eagle's Nest estate from 1910 to 1936. Willie K., as he was known to family and friends, explored the globe in his ocean-going yachts. He brought back thousands of marine, insect and bird specimens, and these collections formed the basis of his marine museum and natural-history galleries. Vanderbilt willed his mansion, estate and museum to Suffolk County, NY, and the complex opened as the Suffolk County Vanderbilt Museum in 1950. The Planetarium, created in 1971, was dedicated to Vanderbilt's love of science and use of celestial navigation during his circumnavigations of the globe.
