About this event
Come join us under the Light of October’s Full Moon for our Knick-at-Night Ghostly Mansion Tours and Souper Supper on the evenings of Friday, October 27th & Saturday, October 28th, 2023.
Savor the experience of a candlelit tour of our 18th century historic Mansion before settling comfortably in your seat, drifting back to days gone by as you encounter the Ghosts of an Indian along with the Ghosts of other Knickerbocker family and friends.
They will regale you by vignette with vivid memories of their lives and adventures from generations ago, as they are only able once per year, at October’s end! And for the bravehearted among you, an optional guided visit to the Knickerbocker Cemetery is available after your Mansion tour.
Dine on Foods for an Autumn Evening in our enclosed Knickerbocker Pavilion. Fortify yourself before or restore yourself after your Mansion visit with our Souper Supper! Enjoy hot steaming crocks of New England Clam Chowder; Potato Bacon Leek Soup; Chili; Tortellini Sausage Soup; Chicken Noodle Soup; Autumn Sweet Potato Carrot Soup or Vegan Veggie Soup with Bread & Butter, Cornbread and Dessert along with Hot Coffee, Hot Tea, Hot Chocolate or Lemonade.
Dinner begins at 5:00 p.m. and the Ghostly Mansion Tours start at 6:00 p.m. Reservations are required for the tours by calling 518 588-7130.
For the curious -- the Knickerbocker Mansion is considered the most significant historic building in Upper Rensselaer County, located in the Hoosic River Valley near Tomhannock Creek. Built by Johannes and Elizabeth Knickerbocker in the 1780s, the Mansion’s architecture is of a rare Middle Ages style. Come to the spot, steeped in history, where the Knickerbockers lived since the early 1700s and where the Witanagamot Oak Peace Tree was planted in 1676 signaling peace between the Indians, the Dutch settlers and New York Province’s Governor Andros. The Knickerbocker Historical Society is a 501 C3 charitable organization and all fundraising money directly funds the preservation and restoration of the Knickerbocker Mansion. www.knickmansion.com
