Johnson Hall State Historic Site
Johnson Hall State Historic Site was built by Sir William Johnson in 1763. He was the largest single landowner and was very influential in the settlement of the Mohawk Valley. A Georgian house of wood made to look like stone was created. In 1774, during a tense conference with 600 Indians at Johnson Hall, Sir William collapsed and died. The house was confiscated and sold at an auction in 1779. It was acquired by the state of New York in 1906.
