Schuyler Mansion
From 1763-1804, Schuyler Mansion was the site of military strategizing, political hobnobbing, elegant social affairs and an active family life
Once home to Philip J. Schuyler, the renowned Revolutionary War general, US Senator, and business entrepreneur, this Georgian structure was built on a bluff overlooking the Hudson River.
Originally situated on an 80-acre tract of land, the grounds once included an orchard, a formal garden and a working farm. Throughout the Schuyler family occupancy from 1763-1804, the mansion was the site of military strategizing, political hobnobbing, elegant social affairs, and an active family life. The wedding of Schuyler’s daughter Elizabeth to Alexander Hamilton took place in the house in 1780.
Today, visitors can enjoy a guided tour of the mansion as well as an orientation exhibition in the Visitor Center focusing on Philip Schuyler's life. Temporary exhibitions and public programs are also hosted year-round.
