Skene Manor — Attraction in Town of Whitehall

This is one place to check out! The Skene Manor is a home to historical birthplaces and amazing architectural designs! I posted minimal pictures as you should experience it personally. Nested in a quaint town that is so rich in history. The mansion is a view away from the NYS Canal and other tourist spots!

Aside from the free tour of the mansion and checking out the giftshop, they also offer dining services! I love love the experience I had in the dining area! From getting an amazing service given by the ladies who volunteers in this amazing place, to the savory soup, delectable sandwiches, and delicious desserts! All made from the mansion's kitchen!

Put this on your bucket list! A few minutes away from Lake...

All in all it was a great way to spend a beautiful Spring afternoon. I might add that everyone working there is a volunteer cooking, serving, and giving tours to help raise funds to preserve this local architectural treasure. Go check it out and have lunch while you're at it. The menu prices were very moderate and the food was great ! ...
