Knickerbocker Mansion is a historic home located at Schaghticoke in Rensselaer County, New York. It was built about 1770 and is a 2 1⁄2-story, rectangular brick building. It has a hipped roof, covered in slate, that curves slightly at the eaves. The front facade once featured a one-bay, pedimented entrance portico. The property was occupied by the Knickerbocker family from about 1707 until 1946.[2] It was acquired in 1964 by the Knickerbocker Historical Society and is operated as a local history museum. The Knickerbocker Historical Society (KHS) have almost entirely restored the mansion, which was originally built by Johannes Knickerbacker III in Schaghticoke, New York in 1780. The Knickerbocker mansion was home to the knickerbocker family over 250 years.
It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1972.[1]
