Bush-Lyon Homestead is a historic home located at Port Chester, Westchester County, New York.
Also on the property are a carriage house, former slave quarters, and a storage building / corn crib.
[1] History of the Homestead : The home may have been built by John Lyon II, born 1693, who had considerable farm land that included the area now called Lyon Park.
Emeline married Gershom Bulkley of Port Chester, from a family of sea merchants in the area.
Upon her death, questions arose as to the ownership and preservation of the home, and after a series of court hearings involving distance relatives,[6] the house and property were purchased by the Village of Port Chester in 1925 and preserved as a park.
