What to See in White Plains

Westchester County may be overlooked compared to the bright lights of Manhattan, but the significance of the area in American history cannot be overstated.

The White Plains Armory and the Elijah Miller House will definitely spark the interest of history buffs. The White Plains Armory was actually the first location in New York State, where the Declaration of Independence was read back in 1776. Go on a driving tour of these sites and more and get your fill of National Historical Sites and learn even more about the historical background.

After your blast from the past, go modern and stop by the Westchester and the Galleria, massive local shopping malls that house luxury brands as well as more affordable brands. White Plains has become an ultimate shopping mecca. A day may not be enough for your inner shopaholic.

Adults and kids alike will love Playland during the summer, with rides for all ages and thrill levels, live concerts, special seasonal events, and delicious food.
