In 1827, a murder occurred at the Cherry Hill Household. The crime aroused tremendous public interest and marked the last public hanging in the city of Albany. The event also touched upon some important issues of the day such as women's roles and legal rights, social class, punishment and the law, and slavery in New York. First owned by the Van Rensselaer family and then by Emily Rankin, Cherry...
This 18-century-style mansion (circa 1787), which sits on a wooded hill overlooking the scenic Hudson River, contains a huge collection of antiques, textiles and other historical artifacts.

I thank the 5 generations who lived in the home for being horders. So many interested items. I could tell there were spirits in the house, but nothing obvious to...
