Historic Cherry Hill
One House, Many Unequal Lives
Discover
Built in 1787 for Philip Van Rensselaer, Historic Cherry Hill examines the history of an Albany household across generations. Its interpretation includes both the family and people who worked there, including enslaved people. Letters, objects, and the house itself help reveal how status, race, gender, and economic uncertainty shaped domestic life.

Historic Cherry Hill asks visitors to look beyond the appearance of a prosperous home. Its household history includes privilege, labor, and lives too often left out of the picture.
What can household records reveal that a building alone cannot?
