Interesting historic house to checkout. The house is part of the Saratoga National Historical Park. Admission to the house is currently free. Tours are provided on weekends. The tour of the house is thorough and lasts about a half hour. The house belonged to Philip Schuyler who was a general during the American Revolution, and then Senator afterwards. They do have some artifacts in the house that originally did belong to Schuyler. Most the house is renovated and presented in a historically accurate way. All the good and bad parts of Schuyler's life are presented on the tour from his role in the American Revolution to his ownership of slaves. If you are touring the battlefield you should add this to your tour. Property also connects to the Champlain Canal Bike Trail. You can walk or bike the trail after touring the house. Nice scenery. If you live nearby definitely stop by.

It was interesting to see the lower level and grounds of the Schuyler house. The upstairs was closed due to heat. We would have enjoyed a little more history of the Schuyler family while we were there, but we enjoyed seeing what we were able to! The ranger was knowledgeable and answered our questions.

Beautiful restored 18th century residence. My favorite room is the kitchen, check out the fireplace. Large well maintained parking area with flush toilets and fresh water. Entry is free. I had 3 bars of Verizon 4G LTE Roaming.

We went for a candlight tour during the month of October. It was lovely. Very well done. The house and grounds looked beautiful. The guides were dressed in period attire, and were very charming.
