Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the Mabee Farm Historic Site was originally established in the mid to late 1600’s possibly as an early trading post. It contains one of the oldest houses in New York State. This riverside complex, a time capsule to the past, includes a 17th century dutch style stone house, slave quarters, Inn, 1760 dutch barn and family cemetery. When the farmstead was donated to the Schenectady County Historical Society in 1993, much of the family’s heirlooms and furniture were found, some dating to the 17th century and are presently on display.
