Historic Hudson Valley engages an army of over 1,000 volunteers to assemble the pumpkins on the grounds of Van Cortlandt Manor: a post-Revolutionary War estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are more than 10,000 pumpkins each season for visitors to admire. That\u2019s more than 200,000 pounds of pumpkin assembled into various works of art.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Crafting Jack O\u2019Lantern displays is no simple undertaking. The Blaze recruits volunteers who craft Jack O\u2019Lanterns inspired by a wide variety of attractions including the work of many local artists such as Michael Heizer, Donald Judd, Robert Smithson, and Andy Goldsworthy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
