JOHNSTOWN - Sir William Johnson built his grand baronial home in
Johnstown as a tribute to the claim he staked in the new frontier.
Local, national and international visitors 250 years later still revel
in its majesty.

The state Office of Parks, Recreation & Historic Preservation owns the
Johnson estate, referred to as the Johnson Hall State Historic Site,
at 139 Hall Ave.

State and local officials are celebrating the 250th anniversary of
Johnson Hall this year with events running from mid-May through
mid-October. Events already planned will include plantings, a 5K run
and walk, a lecture series, walking tours, "The Building of Johnson
Hall" weekend celebration and a cricket tournament.
