OPRHP is further committed to the interpretation of these collections and the history of the property to the broadest possible audience. Furthermore, it is the mission of OPRHP at Staatsburgh to maintain the historic estate for public enjoyment and passive recreational use in such a manner that Staatsburgh's natural, historic, and cultural resources shall not be endangered or compromised
