Old Fort Johnson / Montgomery County Historical Soc

Address: 2 Mergner Rd, Fort Johnson, NY 12070, USA

Museum

“Old Fort Johnson was the residence of Sir William Johnson, an Irish pioneer who became an influential British Superintendent of Indian Affairs. Johnson was a very important colonist who did much to build the future United States even though he was working for the British. Built in 1749 the three story Georgian style house is made of limestone and sits near the banks of the Mohawk River. The house is also home to the Montgomery County Historical Society. Tours of the inside of the house are given and they are educational and informative. Much of the furniture and furnishings in the house are original to it. The layout of the house is also as historically accurate as possible. Originally, the house was essentially part of a larger fort. They have a nice display as to what the fort would've looked like and they have a gunport built into the house. Outside of the house it is easy to admire the gardens, and the steam that runs down to the Mohawk. Interestingly enough there is also a privy outside, which is believed to be one of the oldest intact one’s in the US. There is Mixed into the house are displays of Native American artifacts and Mohawk Valley history. Some of the interesting displays that can be seen are Nicholas Herkimer’s rifle and a chair that was saved from a house in the Cherry Valley Massacre in 1778. On the third floor of the home unique artifacts from Montgomery County’s history are displayed. One of the most interesting artifacts they have is a Mohawk canoe that could be 500 or more years old. There is also a small collection of carriages to be seen here. On the tour I was informed that there would be some work on the roof of Old Fort Johnson being completed this year. Check the website or call ahead for the hours that tours are given. A small admission price is charged. There is a small, but nice gift shop located here. This is a great place to learn about Sir William Johnson and the history of the Mohawk Valley.”

Van Ostrande–Radliff House

Address: 48 Hudson Ave, Albany, NY 12207, USA

Museum

“The only surviving timber-framed Dutch house in Albany. Possibly the oldest surviving house in Albany!

For what it's worth, the timber framed part has to recreated with the screen that hangs over the facade depicting its original timber-framed look.”

Dove/Torr Cottage: Historic Artists' Home

Address: 30 Centershore Rd, Centerport, NY 11721, USA

Museum

Magazzino Italian Art

Address: 2700 US-9, Cold Spring, NY 10516, USA

Museum

“This museum alone is worth a trip from nyc. Sensory evoking, heart touching and mind stimulating exhibits meticulously arranged in such a beautiful space. SPACE (in many meanings) is the main piece of art thus no picture will deliver how one feels in the space of Magazzino so you must go and experience it yourself. The easiest way to get there is an Uber from Cold Spring, about $10 but wait time is 20 mins on average, plan accordingly.”

Sagamore Hill National Historic Site

Address: 20 Sagamore Hill Rd, Oyster Bay, NY 11771, USA

Park Museum

“Thought the home looks impressive on the outside, wait till you see what’s on the inside! I went into the tour not knowing what to expect, and it was truly a time capsule of Theodore Roosevelt’s life. There’s a lot of antiques from all over the world; the space really highlighted just how much of a free spirit and adventurer he truly was. Our tour guide was spectacular in weaving the story of Roosevelt’s life in such an interesting way. I had no idea that an inkwell could be made from the foot of an animal, or that Roosevelt valued living life to the fullest despite being told that he wouldn’t live past childhood. It’s a touching story, and being in the house really brings you back in time to the mindset and interests that Roosevelt had. He was sort of an erratic genius? I highly recommend this tour, and supporting the space by purchasing tickets online. 10/10 experience!”
