Riverby was the estate of the American naturalist John Burroughs (1837-1921), who wrote and created a genre of naturalist essays. Riverby is also the title of one of Burrough's books, published in 1904, and is also the name of an edition of his collected works. Burrough's study at Riverby is a National Historic Landmark.
The Riverby estate is located above the west bank of the Hudson River, in the town of West Park, in Ulster County, New York. Burroughs bought a 9-acre (36,000 m2) farm there in 1873, and added additional land later. The estate included a main house, a writing study lower on the slope towards the Hudson River, a building that his son lived in during the years when Burroughs primarily used the study, and other buildings.
In the study, which looks east over the Hudson River, Burroughs wrote Fresh Fields (1884), Signs and Seasons (1886), Indoor Studies (1889), and Riverby (1894), and he edited other works. Theodore Roosevelt and many others visited Burroughs in the study.
