General Philip Schuyler inherited this family estate in 1745. This third home was built on the ruins of Schuyler’s farm, which was destroyed on October 10, 1777, by the retreating British following the Battle of Saratoga.
Schuyler quickly rebuilt a simple home before winter arrived, and since then, many additions have been made, resulting in the current home.
Philip Schuyler was a member of the Continental Congress, third in command under George Washington, and an influential New Yorker. He played many roles, participating actively and supporting the Revolutionary War.
Look for Casper, our black cat mascot, waiting by the entrance sign to welcome you in.
This replica fits nicely on your desk, windowsill, mantle, nightstand, bookshelf, or anywhere you want to catch a glimpse to remember the amazing time you had in the park.
We handcraft this replica in 3/4" thick wood in our Wooster, Ohio workshop.
