Schuyler Mansion, located at 32 Catherine Street in Albany’s historic South End, was the eighteenth century home of Revolutionary War General Philip Schuyler and his family. The home hosted key political and military figures of the period, and served as the center of Albany society. Generally, guided tours of the mansion are available Wednesday through Sunday, 11:00 am to 5:00 pm.; however, site events and pre-registered groups do alter the tour schedule.
