All three are in somewhat of a circle at the northern tip of the village, so a visit would be very doable. You can drive or walk by Chief Kisco, or park in the lot at St. Marks and start your journey to all three! The brand new library next to the Town Hall would probably have more resources available to enrich your trip! Also enjoy the many shops and restaurants on 117 and behind Town Hall on Moger Avenue which also has meter parking.

The Mt. Kisco Town House ( Main Street/117) that had also housed the Post Office was designed by famed designer Mott, B. Schmidt and construction began in 1932. It is a fine example of civic architecture. There are also Mott B. Schidt designed homes in Bedford. Almost diagonally across North Bedford Rd/Main Street (Rt. 117) is the stone St. Mark's Episcopal Church built in 1910 designed by Bertram Goodhue. He was an important Church Architect of the early 20th Century. There are stained glass windows attibuted to Louis Comfort Tiffany. Both buildings have Landmark status.
Then again there is always the "Chief Kisco" statue to visit! Unlike the local legend that there was a true Chief Kisco, others find there never was a real person with that name. David F. Gorham gave the statue to Mount Kisco in 1907 as a decorative top to a water fountain. On the base of the pedestal are the words “God’s Only Beverage For Man and Beast.” Chief Kisco rules over the village from his perch at the intersection of Routes 133 and 117.
