Knickerbocker Historical Society
It was Washington Irving’s “Dietrich Knickerbocker,” that forever branded the Knickerbocker name with the Dutch history of New York State
About a half-hour drive from Schenectady, Albany or Saratoga Springs, the Knickerbocker Historical Society keeps alive the historical, cultural and literary impact of the Knickerbocker family. The 18th-century Knickerbocker Mansion, constructed in 1780 by Johannes Knickerbacker III, is on rural property that was occupied by the Knickerbocker family for nearly 250 years.
It was Washington Irving’s “Dietrich Knickerbocker,” that forever branded the Knickerbocker name with the Dutch history of New York State.
Staffed entirely by volunteers, the mansion offers seasonal tours, educational programs to the public and several other special events throughout the year.
It is open May through October.
