Initially designed by Florence Guggenheim near the turn of the 20th century, these carefully curated gardens offer a modern-day interpretation of the Gilded Age opulence that embodied the former Gould-Guggenheim Estate.Over the years, it has been my privilege to advocate for and secure County resource to protect the Sands Point Preserve and the historical Falaise mansion from the threat of Long Island Sound erosion. I look forward to future opportunities to protect and enhance this community treasure.Thank you to Board Chairwoman Karli Hagedorn and the entire team at the Sands Point Conservancy for your continued diligence in preserving and enhancing these historic gems for all of us to learn from and enjoy in modern times.Have a wonderful evening!Sincerely,Delia DeRiggi-Whitton Nassau County Legislator 11th Legislative District\x03'
