Caumsett State Park, Lloyd's Neck, Long Island, New York

Caumsett was the home of Marshall Field III, who bought 1750 acres of Lloyd Neck in 1921.  Marshall Field III (9/28/1893 – 11/8/1956) was an American investment banker, publisher, racehorse owner/breeder, philanthropist, and 3rd-generation heir to the Marshall Field department store fortune.  Marshall Field & Co. was acquired by Target in 1990.

Caumsett was one of the largest estates on the Gold Coast.  The mansion was designed by John Russell Pope.  It occupies a huge expanse of land, much of it open meadows punctuated by massive beech trees.
