In 1827, a murder occurred at Cherry Hill, home of the prominent Van Rensselaer family. The crime aroused tremendous public interest and marked the last public hanging in the city of Albany. The event also touched upon some important issues of the day such as women's roles and legal rights, social class, punishment and the law, and slavery in New York. Join us for this two-hour tour which will include following the footsteps of the killer on the night of the murder and a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the Cherry Hill household. Recommended: wearing comfortable shoes since we will be going outside and climbing staircases inside. Please dress for the weather.
Advance registration and payment are required. Tour size is limited.
Cost: $18.00 for adults; $10.00 for children, ages 12-17
