Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site

Historic House

Philip Schuyler's Albany home served as the de facto headquarters of the Continental Army's Northern Department. Built 1761–1765, the mansion hosted officers, politicians, and — after Saratoga — prisoners of war including General Burgoyne himself. Alexander Hamilton married Elizabeth Schuyler here on December 14, 1780. The New York State Office of Parks operates the mansion as a museum, with period furnishings and interpretive programming on the Schuyler family's role in the Revolution.
