Step into history at one of the Upper Hudson Valley's finest historic house museums and gardens. Feature exhibit for 2026: "Road to Revolution: Leadership in 1776 and Beyond." Learn about the role the Revolution played in the lives of people at Ten Broeck Mansion and Albany County, and trace the changing leadership of the emerging United States from Revolutionary War General Abraham Ten Broeck to Abolitionist Rosanna Vosburgh.
