On Saturday, January 4, 2025, Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site will welcome visitors for its annual Twelfth Night Celebration, “Salutations of the Season!” From 4:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m., the site will host an open house filled with 18th century holiday fare, live music by Liaisons Plaisantes, bonfires (weather permitting!), period reenactors (including the 34th Regiment), and wassail toasts. Admission: $7.00 Adults / $6.00 Seniors & Students / $1.00 Children (12 and under). No advanced registration is available. Tickets must be purchased at the Visitors Center the evening of the event. This year’s Twelfth Night celebration will be the kickoff to Revolutionary War year commemorations. A special exhibit will explore British activities concerning the colonies in the years leading up to January 1775, as well as the challenge of hosting a celebration amidst boycotts on imported goods. Reenactors will incorporate these building tensions into their interpretations, from varying perspectives.
Cross the river to Crailo State Historic Site in Rensselaer where the celebration continues with Yuletide decorations, hearthside cooking, live music, re-enactors, and other festive traditions of the 17th century. Both events run concurrently and a combination admission, which includes both historic houses, is available for only one dollar more than single site admission.
Twelfth Night, or the Feast of Epiphany, was one of the traditional holidays celebrated by the Dutch and English of 17th and 18th century New York. It was the final holiday of the season, marked by unsurpassed feasting and revelry. Come celebrate with us!
Please note this event is street parking only unless you require a handicap parking spot, in which case the parking lot is available for your use.
