Events

Cornelius Vanderbilt began operating his own ferry in New York Harbor at the age of 16. The tiny business would grow into a massive steamship company. Vanderbilt would undercut his competitors by pricing his services so low he would drive them out of business. Eventually he built a railroad empire from New York to Chicago and the first Grand Central Station at 42nd Street. During the Gilded Age the Vanderbilts built massive mansions and hosted grand parties. Find out what happened to the fortune of America’s first robber baron. Sponsored by the Union County Division on Aging. Bonus: Special Anderson Cooper tribute to his mother, Gloria Vanderbilt.
