Fort Crailo, Dutch colonial historic site in Rensselaer, United States.
The fortified brick manor house includes a cellar kitchen, Dutch house room, and military exhibits displaying artifacts from the colonial period.
Built in 1707 on earlier foundations from the 1660s, the structure served as both a residence and defensive position during French and Indian conflicts.
The museum presents collections of colonial Dutch furniture, clothing, and household items that demonstrate daily life in the Hudson River Valley.
Located at 9 1/2 Riverside Avenue, the site operates from May through October with guided tours available hourly at 5 dollars for adults.
British Army surgeon Richard Shuckburgh composed the song Yankee Doodle at this location in 1755 while observing New England troops.
