Reviews of Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site
"Very interesting visit. Curator's know many interesting stories about the property and the family. Website recommends making a reservation for a tour in advance. I was lucky and was able just show up and join a group that had already reserved, but wouldn't guarantee that would be the case for everyone."
"Interesting tour with lots of time to focus on historical details. There is nice visitor center with videos and photos, good restrooms. You would part of relatively small group."
"As a huge Hamilton fan and visiting Albany, I could not have missed this opportunity. I loved our tour guide and the way she referenced the musical and the little trivia games...so much fun. The seating area on the side of the mansion is beautiful and peaceful to take in the atmosphere of history and the beauty of the grounds."
"The Schuyler Mansion is a unique look into Albany's historic past. The mansion was home to Philip Schuyler, his wife Catherine Van Rensselaer, and their children. When the mansion was constructed it was the largest residence in Albany, as well as the first building you would see from a ship on the Hudson River. Philip's wife Catherine, came from one of the richest families in all of American history. The mansion tour starts off in the visitors center where they have a model of what the estate looked like when it was constructed in the 1700's. The also have some artifacts from the mansion such as Schuyler's shoes. Once inside the mansion you will find that was it was well laid out with very spacious rooms for the time. Many rooms are also very brightly colored. Many important guests stayed in the mansion including George Washington, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, and Benedict Arnold. The tour guide did a good job describing the history and significance of each room. The guide also talked a good deal about Philip Schuyler's personal history, role in the American Revolution, and time as a US Senator. The tour lasted about an hour. Tour was different in that you would examine the rooms on your own first than the guide would describe them to you. If in Albany this is a must see."
"We visited on a day when no tours were available, however us was great seeing the Victorian home and, knowing the story of Alexander Hamilton and the Schuyler sisters, it really put together the musical “Hamilton” into perspective. I recommend going on a day (or making an appointment) to tour the mansion."
