To commemorate the 250th anniversary of Henry Knox’s “Noble Train of Artillery” mission from Fort Ticonderoga through Albany, Knox and other special guests will hold court in the mansion.

Cross the river to Crailo State Historic Site in Rensselaer where the celebration continues with Yuletide decorations, hearthside cooking, live music, re-enactors, and other festive traditions of the 17th century. Both events run concurrently and a combination admission, which includes both historic houses, is available for only one dollar more than single site admission.
Twelfth Night, or the Feast of Epiphany, was one of the traditional holidays celebrated by the Dutch and English colonists in 17th and 18th century New York. It was the final holiday of the season, marked by unsurpassed feasting and revelry. Come celebrate with us!
