The Schuyler Mansion in Albany has a talk on May 15 about the daughters of Philip and Catherine Schuyler. Blurbage:
The "Schuyler Sisters" have been causing quite a stir in the Broadway musical Hamilton: An American Musical, but did you know that there were really five Schuyler sisters? Jess Serflippi, Schuyler Mansion Site Interpreter, will present an in depth look at the history of the Schuyler women, their daily lives, and the impact they had in shaping their family's history.
The talk is part of the Friends of Schuyler Mansion annual meeting. It's Tuesday, May 15 at 5:30 pm. It's free and open to the public.
Open for the season
The 2018 season at the Schuyler Mansion State Historic Site in Albany's South End opens Tuesday, May 16, which means the return of regularly scheduled public tours. The tours do tend to fill up, so keep an eye on the site's Facebook page for details about signing up ahead of time.
