Community Outreach & Education

Part of our mission is to sponsor educational programs related to historic architecture. This includes opening The Castle to the public for all to see, funding historical research, and special events for the Troy community.

Annual Troy Victorian Stroll

Each year we open up our home to the public during the annual Troy Victorian Stroll. The event, which has been hosted by the Rensselaer County Regional Chamber of Commerce since 1993, seeks to transform downtown Troy to its former ‘Victorian Age’ splendor. As “the grandest house in Troy,” The Castle is a perfect addition to the annual stroll. Every year we look forward to opening the home to the public.

Private Tours

Want to tour The Castle? Private tours may be arranged for groups interested in historical architecture.
