On Sunday, June 22, 2025, from 1:00pm-2:00pm, Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site will offer a panel discussion at the New York State Museum, as a part of our commemoration of the 250th Anniversary of the American Revolution. This event is free and open to the public.
Join us at the Huxley Theater for a panel discussion to commemorate the forming of the Continental Army and Philip Schuyler’s appointment as Major General of the Northern Department. Garrett Cloer, Program Manager for Interpretation and Visitor Experience at the Saratoga National Historical Park, will discuss Congress's forming of the army after the Battle of Lexington and Concord. Jessie Serfilippi, Lead Interpreter at Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site, will then provide insight into Philip Schuyler's background and personal connections, as well as his first actions as Major General in 1775, which included the invasion of Quebec. Both panelists will consider why Philip Schuyler was chosen for the appointment. Panel followed by a Q&A in the Huxley Theater. Immediately following, attendees are invited to attend free Open House Tours at Schuyler Mansion on Catherine Street in Albany, to be offered from 2:00 PM-4:30 PM that Sunday.
