“Crailo today tells the story of the early Dutch inhabitants of the upper Hudson Valley through exhibits highlighting archeological finds from the Albany Fort Orange excavations, special programs, and guided tours of the museum. A few rooms in the house exhibit artifacts from the Dutch settlers of NY state. Two rooms in the house recreate what the house looked when it was being used by the Van Rensselaers. One is a living room of it's day with a very interesting box like bed where people slept upright. The other is the kitchen, which is located in the basement. The tour guide did a very good job at this house and the staff is friendly. For a small museum it does a good showing what life was like for Dutch settlers. The Dutch chairs are also interesting. If necessary the house could also double as a fort. One gunport in seen in the house, in case of an attack on the house. Some parts of the house are original other parts have been remodeled. There is a small gift shop inside. Staff was friendly. Call ahead to see when the best time to come is.”

“We went on a Saturday morning walking tour of Underground Railroad sites which ended up at the Hart-Cluett Museum. Were so impressed with the great information and history storytelling that we ended up adding on a tour of the Hart-Cluett Mansion, which was also fascinating. Kudos to our tour guides Andrew and Kathy. A very educational and inspiring day.”
