Reviews
"I’d give this landmark a solid five stars I went on a school field trip with my students. The tour guides were very professional and extremely knowledgeable about the whole history of the house and land. They gave us a tour and told us about the murder that happened there and all of the historical significance behind it. I truly hope to go back in a minute that I can because it was a very memorable experience"
"They almost lost this house sometime due to so much in the house instead of using storage bins that they rent now because the owner has saved so much of albany history. I don't think they should talk about the murderer and the last hanging with a group of people decided to attend instead of this man isn't going to be hung. They also leave out the USA NYS treason group that's here with us today probably making wars and giving terrible stories and make people mad and upset and not be able to relax. Library passes for free admission may be available if you have a library card."
"Lively tour and reenactment of a murder that took place here almost 200 yrs ago. I was so pleased that it was based on history and not just a spook show. The staff and volunteers were awesome! Will definitely go back for another tour."
"We enjoyed a wonderful, informative tour and were able to ask a lot of questions. Our guide Meghan was knowledgeable, friendly, and authoritative. We toured in June, so the gardens outside were just lovely. Lots of great information about the owners, but also about the workers who kept Cherry Hill running. Highly recommended."
