Knickerbocker Mansion is considered the most significant historic building in Upper Rensselaer County, located at the convergence of the Hoosic River and Tomhannock Creek, at the base of the historic Indian Trails to Boston. Built by Johannes and Elizabeth Knickerbocker in the 1780s, the Mansion's architecture is of a rare Middle Ages style.
Thank you for considering us for your October dining and historic entertainment. We are a 501-C3 charitable organization and all proceeds fund the restoration of Knickerbocker Mansion.
