Address: 2 Mergner Rd, Fort Johnson, NY 12070, USA
“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.”

“Really lovely look into the early life of Edward Hopper. Simple, small museum with insights into his family, his bedroom, and views of Nyack. I enjoyed the afternoon light through his bedroom window, and the photos that compare the buildings in his paintings with how they look today. As a big fan of the artist i am very pleased with this little museum. The staff was also great.”

“This is certainly a niche museum, but what they cover they cover very well! The little movie is well worth it & there is plenty of opportunity to learn all about the history of horse racing here in the US & in Saratoga specifically. Great staff on hand if you need any questions asked. They also had a decent sized gift shop.”

“This is a very good location for parents, grandparents, or a child care giver to bring the kids out to enjoy a day of experiencing something new and different. This museum has a lot to offer those curious minds that kids have. They will enjoy the interaction experience. It let's them be a part of it. Even a shy kid will have that look on their face of how they do that? They have indoor and outdoor experience for the kids to do, interact, or sit back and enjoy the show. This location has a large parking lot. They have a cafeteria and a gift shop also. I recommend that you experience a fun day with the little ones in your life.”

“The only surviving timber-framed Dutch house in Albany. Possibly the oldest surviving house in Albany! Restored with the funds and the effort from the Dutch Consulate, New York State Museum, and the Historic Albany Foundation. 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.”

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

Exhibits on Malta rocket testing, WWII bombers, Adirondack seaplanes, experimental aircraft, and many Cold War Era aircraft on display. All the museum volunteers and staff were friendly and knowledgeable. I would highly recommend visiting!”

“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!”
