Meaning of name
What does this word mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 134.201.253.22 (talk • contribs)


 * "Kykuit" means "lookout" in old Dutch language. Flibirigit 21:24, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

In dutch to this day you can say; kijk uit and that translates to englisch as; look out. So the only difference is that the y is changed for ij and the words are apart.

I think over time the people in Amerika didn't understand what it meant and probably attached the words to each other and made kyk uit into kykuit.

Location
"Located in…" Tarrytown or Mt. Pleasant, New York? (see:  Registered Historic Places) -- User:Dogears (talk) 01:35, 27 March 2006 (UTC)

Overlooks the Catskills?
Oh please. They're way too far away. The mountains visible from Kykuit are Harriman State Park and the Hudson Highlands. Daniel Case 03:36, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I finally took that statement out, but I'm still a little doubtful that you can see all the way to the NY skyline from the estate. It would have to be a really clear day, and the GW Bridge is, after all, in the way. Daniel Case 15:32, 19 September 2007 (UTC)

According to The New York Times ( http://travel.nytimes.com/2007/02/23/travel/escapes/23rock.html ) and Town & Country Magazine (1993) the name is pronounced KYE-kut or KIGH-kut not cake-eight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.135.161.57 (talk) 16:39, 8 September 2008 (UTC)
