Johnson Hall State Historic Site

Johnson Hall features a Georgian-style mansion with wooden frame construction covered in planks that imitate stone, accompanied by two stone block houses.

Sir William Johnson, British Superintendent of Indian Affairs, built this 700-acre estate in 1763 and managed colonial relationships with Native American nations until 1774.

The mansion became a central meeting point where hundreds of representatives from various Indian tribes gathered for council meetings with colonial officials.

The New York State Office of Parks operates guided tours from May through October, offering visitors access to the mansion and educational programs.

The property contains the original mansion and West Stonehouse, while the East Stonehouse is a precise reproduction of its historical counterpart.
