Schuyler Mansion Museum

This was really awesome. We went for a tour of the women at Skyler Mansion. It was so interesting. I learned things I never new before! I cannot wait to share the things I learned here. It was so fun! You get to learn about how many peoples lives overlapped and how they lived. I always knew Albany had a lot of history, but I didn't know it had this much. I also got to learn about the daughters of Philip and Catherine Schuler and what their personalities were like. I completely recommend going here, the staff and very nice and they know their stuff.

Daughter is Hamilton obsessed so our trip to Albany would not have been complete without a visit here. Staff friendly, tour guide knowledgeable and enthusiastic. Great history tour when in the area.

Very friendly Staff. I was able to navigate quite a bit with my powerchair. I did not go on the tour. I preference to opt for the virtual tour. It just makes more sense for me. Staff at the visitor center were very friendly. Nice options for Souvenirs at very reasonable prices. There's enough to see in the visitor center to keep you occupied for a fair bit, dont let the size of it fool you. Several modern digital interactive learning kiosks and it wasnt overly crowded. I was pleasantly surprised how fragrant the historical plantings were. Maybe because I was spending a bit of time next to the entrance loading my powerchair. But it was pleasant, fragrant and relaxing. Plenty of benches on the grounds to just sit and enjoy.

Such an important spot to learn about the History of the Schuyler Family and what kind of impact they had on Albany, their hand in the Atlantic Slave Trade and the decimation of indigenous populations in the region. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and kind and did a wonderful job answering questions. There is a parking lot so that's a bonus too!

Definitely a must visit if you're into History and/or Hamilton and you are in the Albany area. This house has been a museum for over 100 years. Check it out. $5 admissions as of 9/3/2025 for one hour tours. Recommend making a reservation.
