Stephen and Harriet Myers Residence

Address: 194 Livingston Ave, Albany, NY 12210, USA

Museum

“I recommend visiting this historical gem in Albany. Paul and his team are very knowledgeable, welcoming, and instrumental in preserving the legacy of Stephen and Harriet Myers' legacy. I appreciate their research and delving into local upstate abolitionists whose names aren't as well known, but because of this museum, their lives, stories, and contributions to the underground railroad are highlighted.”

Van Ostrande–Radliff House

Address: 48 Hudson Ave, Albany, NY 12207, USA

Museum

“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.”

New York State Museum

Address: 222 Madison Ave, Albany, NY 12230, USA

Museum

“What a gem. It's actually quite massive - we were there for a couple of hours and only got to see half. Maybe even less. The 9/11 exhibit is detailed and quite emotional- I couldn't even take any pictures. There are exhibits on various eras that are detailed and well documented. Even if you don't want to read so much, they are wonderfully well put together. You don't have to follow any chronology, but it's set up so that you can if you want to. Really well thought out and lets you really appreciate our state. Note: its free to visit. We did not have to reserve time slots online either. The people at the front desk are super helpful. Outside, there are some wonderful memorials as well, and the space is lovely, you can sit and reflect for a few minutes.”

“We had such an amazing tour! Our guide was super informative and engaging. My daughter was really interested in “the Schuyler sisters” so she told us a lot about the daughters and incorporated references to Hamilton throughout the tour. She was also incredibly knowledgeable about the enslaved people living and working there, and brought their names and stories into the tour as well. The grounds are beautiful and we were able to have a picnic lunch before our tour. A definite must-see!!!”
